Synoptic-scale fluctuations of total ozone in the atmosphere
نویسنده
چکیده
A model, based on ozone-concentration tendency equation, is developed to study synoptic ozone-column variations. The application is referred to a middle-latitude site and to an atmospheric layer extending from the surface up to about 35-km altitude. Photochemical effects at the considered location for synoptic time scales are considered negligible. The data input consists of umkehr ozone profile, total ozone (obtained by Brewer No. 067, located at Rome) and horizontal wind at various levels. Analysis of several cases indicates that meridional advection is the main factor responsible for the observed synoptic-scale ozone fluctuations.

synoptic circulation and its influence on spring and summer surface ozone concentrations in southern sweden
The influence of synoptic circulation patterns on surface ozone concentrations at three monitoring sites in southern Sweden was investigated for the spring (April–May) and summer (June–August) periods 1990–2005. Synoptic circulation patterns were classified into six groups based on the Lamb Weather Types (LWTs). The analyses show that the anticyclonic weather pattern (A) and the directional flo...

We derive a multi-scale model of moist tropical dynamics which is valid on horizontal synoptic scales, zonal planetary scales, and synoptic and intraseasonal time scales. The Intraseasonal Multi-Scale Moist Dynamics (IMMD) framework builds on the IPESD framework of [A.J. Majda and R. Klein, J. Atmos. Sci., 60, 393–408, 2003]. It generalizes the latter by allowing for strong zonal winds (the Tra...

We investigate the effect of synoptic-scale weather patterns on observed maximum daily 8-hour average (MDA8) surface ozone over the eastern United States during 1980–2012 in summer (June–August, JJA). Zonally averaged, the relative standard deviation (SD) of daily MDA8 JJA ozone shows a bimodal structure, with peaks at 28–32 and 40–45 N, and we show that those regions are most influenced by the...
