Seasonal variations in SAGE II background aerosols in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere 2 Sep, 2007 SAGE II 論文の要点まとめ 庭野 将徳
Stratospheric Background Aerosol (SBA) - Mean Vertical profiles of SBA: • Vertical decrease in the number of particles at larger mode in the lower stratosphere [Thomason & Peter, 2006] • Vertical decrease of the amount of carbonaceous aerosols in the lower stratosphere [Murphy et al., 2007] => How is the vertical profile of SAGE II Reff ? - Seasonal cycle in SBA: [Hitchman et al., 1994] • Above 26 km, the enhanced uplift of aerosols in summer with the suppressed uplift or horizontal mixing in winter (contrast of winter vs summer) • At 16-22 km, rapid horizontal transport and mixing => How is the role of microphysics and dynamics ? (Also how is the hemispheric difference and tropical variations ?)
Aerosol formation in tropical upper troposphere (TUT) - In UTU, cold temperature, much water in the cloud region => • Aerosol formation: the production of OH, and consequently of gaseous H2SO4 • Aerosol loss: the uptake of gaseous H2SO4 & SO2, and the homogeneous freezing of aerosol particles to form cirrus clouds However, the horizontal distribution of aerosols on the whole global in UTU is still unclear …
↑ Pi ↑ Rev ↑ Ruiz ↑ El Reventador (Nov 2002) 3.1. Time variation bl, a & Reff (2.5S-N) at 24 km (Fig.1) • Before Pinatubo: b & Reff are larger than those in 2000-2003 • After Pinatubo: -1998~ for b0.452 &b0.525 -2000~ for b1.02, a & Re => use data for 1998-2004 to remove interannual variability
