Toward turbulence manifestation in time series of ozone and aerosol contents in the stratosphere

2020 
We presented the time series of the total ozone (TO) content and integrated aerosol backscattering coefficient in the stratosphere, obtained at the Siberian Lidar Station in Tomsk. They are analyzed with the purpose of identifying, in their spectra, of inertial turbulence scale, at which the energy of variations, from large toward small scales, should decay according to the -5/3 law, with associated inner and outer turbulence scales. For TO time series it was found that the linear section is fit by straight line with the slope of -1.23, rather than -1.67 as it would in obedience to the Kolmogorov- Obukhov law. It is hypothesized that photochemical reactions of ozone formation serve as an additional energy source in inertial interval.
