Numerical experiments have been carried out that differ in schemes for calculating temperature and salinity. In the first experiment, traditional schemes were used to ensure the conservation of temperature and salinity in the first and second degrees; in the second one, the temperature was maintained in the first and fifth degrees and salinity in the first and third; in the third experiment, the temperature was maintained in the first and third and salinity in the first and fifth degrees. Calculations were performed on the basis of MHI model with a resolution of 1.6 km and accounting a realistic atmospheric forcing for 2016. The validation of results was carried out based on comparison of model fields with data from contact and satellite measurements of temperature and salinity in 2016. An analysis of average and root mean square errors showed that, compared to the traditional approximation, the new difference schemes for the advection–diffusion equations of heat and salt, ensuring the preservation of predictive parameters to a power greater than two, improve the accuracy of reproducing of the Black Sea salinity in the upper 100-m layer throughout the year. Root mean square errors in the salinity field decrease by 15–20%, and the upper mixed layer thickness in winter and the upper boundary depth of the thermocline layer in summer in the central part of the sea are modeled about 10% more accurately. Based on the results of three experiments, the smallest deviations from observational data were obtained when using approximations that ensure the conservation of temperature to the third degree and salinity to the fifth degree.</p>","PeriodicalId":54911,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics","volume":"2013 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141524508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solar eclipse lasted from 2:08 p.m. to 4:27 p.m. local time; the total phase of the eclipse began at 3:15 p.m. and lasted 2 min 32 s. In developing the results we obtained in our previous work, we compared the data on air temperature profiles at two points, Kislovodsk and the HMSS. The influence of local conditions has been studied. It is shown that local conditions significantly affect both the amplitude of atmospheric pressure pulsations caused by a solar eclipse and their phase, as well as the nature of the change in the spectral density of air temperature with height in the range of periods corresponding to the duration of the solar eclipse. Based on the measurements of temperature profiles, the fluctuations of the atmospheric pressure difference at the level of the earth’s surface and at a certain height up to which the temperature profiles were measured equal to 600 m, were reconstructed, caused by a solar eclipse, in coordinates: height–time has different trajectories in the case of Kislovodsk and the HMSS. The difference in the trajectories of air temperature minima in Kislovodsk and at the HMSS determines both different delays in pressure minima relative to the beginning of the eclipse and time delays between surface pressure fluctuations at observation points as a whole. Also, a new method is proposed for determining the speed of ascending air currents using data on the altitude dependence of the time of reaching a minimum in temporal temperature variations caused by a solar eclipse. The changes in the spectral density of air are compared with height, the amplitude of the reconstructed atmospheric pressure pulsations in Kislovodsk and at the HMSS, and the speed of ascending air currents.</p>","PeriodicalId":54911,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141524499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the presence of snow particles in the air, additional stability appears in the surface layer due to the density gradient. The density gradient reduces turbulence and affects the properties of the surface layer. Therefore, to describe the properties of the flow with included snow particles, additional clarifications are required. A description of the surface layer parameterization with the presence of suspended snow particles is presented in this paper. The formulation of the effect of snow particles consists of the reformulation of the Obukhov turbulent length scale. The novel surface layer parameterization allows one to take into account the effect of snow particles on turbulent flow and may improve the estimates of friction velocity and boundary-layer height.The parameterization was successfully tested on the observational data. A description of snow particle influence has been included in the large eddy simulation (LES) model. The numerical experiments confirmed an increase in the stability of the surface layer. The mechanism of influence of suspended particles on the surface layer is analogous to a thermal stabilization of the turbulent flow, in which negative buoyancy acts to reduce the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE).</p>","PeriodicalId":54911,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141531991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intra-annual variations are analyzed, and factors causing a local summer minimum of ground-level ozone concentration in individual years are identified.

The recurrence of episodes in which the permissible 8-h average ozone concentration level of 100 μg/m<sup>3</sup>, as recommended by World Health Organization (WHO), was exceeded has been assessed, and the possible causes of these episodes are identified.
