Variation of ionospheric slab thickness over South Africa
Ionospheric slab thickness is defined as the ratio of TEC to maximum electron density of the F-region (NmF2), proportional to the square of the F2-layer critical frequency (foF2). It is an important parameter in that it is linearly correlated with scale height of the ionosphere, which is related to electron density profile. It also reflects variation of the neutral temperature. Therefore, ionos...
متن کاملSeasonal changes in surface ozone over South Korea
Recently, the surface ozone concentration in the Korean peninsula has been increasing more rapidly than in the past, and seasonal changes are appearing such as increases in the number of ozone alerts in springtime. We examined changes in the timing of annual maximum South Korean O3 levels by fitting a sine function to data from 54 air-quality monitoring sites over a 10-year period (2005-2014). ...
متن کاملTropospheric ozone over Equatorial Africa
We analyze MOZAIC ozone observations recorded over Equatorial Africa, from April 1997 to March 2003 to give the first ozone climatology of this region. The monthly mean vertical profiles have been systematically analyzed with monthly mean ECMWF data using a Lagrangian-model (LAGRANTO). We assess the roles played by the dy-5 namical features of Equatorial Africa and the intense biomass burning s...
متن کاملSeasonal and Interannual Variability in Atmospheric Turbidity over South Africa
Aerosols affect climate by attenuating solar radiation and acting as cloud condensation nuclei. Despite their importance in the climate system, our understanding of the time-space variability of aerosols is fragmentary. Measurements and reliable estimates of atmospheric turbidity—the total column amount of aerosol—are scarce in most countries and this is especially true in the Southern Hemisphe...
متن کاملstatistical analysis of physico-chemical properties of the estuaries of kwazulu-natal, south africa
in general, estuaries may be classified variously according to inlet dynamics, geomorphology orwhether they are tide or river dominated or, on a combination of all three factors. in kwazulu-natal (kzn),south africa, the four recognised estuary types are temporary opened-closed estuaries (toces), permanently opened estuaries, estuarine lakes and river mouths. since physico-chemical parameters ar...
