LIDAR STUDIES OF THE DYNAMICS OF THE VERTICAL TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN THE STRATOSPHERE OVER TOMSK IN 2016 YEAR

Abstract

One of the important applications of lidar technologies is the study of the thermal regime of the atmosphere. Such studies in the monitoring mode at the Institute of Atmospheric Optics of the SB RAS have been launched since 1994 and are continuing at the present time. Particular attention is paid to the study of the manifestation of sudden disturbances in the middle stratosphere caused by winter stratospheric warming (SW). The results obtained on this topic can be found in [1]-[7]. In this paper, studies of the vertical temperature distribution over Tomsk in the disturbed and calm periods of 2016 are presented.
