STE processes and their impact on the O3 balance in the subtropics of the Southern Hemisphere: A
multi-scale integrated study based at Cerro Tololo (30ºS, 70ºW, 2200 m.a.s.l)
CIALS/CMM/DMC
LGK GF777
At Cerro Tololo (30ºS, 70ºW, 2200 m.a.s.l.), continuous measurements of surface ozone (O3), radiation and meteorological
parameters have been performed since early 1996 under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and through the Chilean Weather Office in cooperation with the Interamerican Southern Astronomical Observatory. This station belongs to a set of background regional stations intended to survey global change that are run under the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) program of the WMO. The chemical composition of the air arriving at the Cerro Tololo site appears to be generally representative of background conditions of free-tropospheric air in the subtropics of the Southern Hemisphere (SH). The O3 data collected at Tololo show a seasonal variation with maximum mixing ratios in late winter and spring, which appear to
be related with the intrusion of O3-rich air in connection with the tilting of isentropic surfaces near the subtropical jet stream
(SJT). Cut-off lows and deep troughs appear also to be major contributors to the O3 measured at Cerro Tololo. Stratosphere-
troposphere exchange (STE) processes are key factors for the balance of the radiatively and chemically important trace species (e.g., O3). STE processes seem also crucial for the formation of new particles. Moreover, these processes up-wind of the Andes
barrier play a key role for the occurrence of heavy precipitation events over Central and Northern Chile. Despite their importance, STE processes are still poorly understood, particularly over the SH. Hereby, we propose a study intended to assess STE processes over Cerro Tololo in the subtropics of the SH by means of an integrated approach that includes in situ measurements as well as regional and meso-scale modeling. Our aim is to identify the mechanisms that explain the O3 spring maximum at Tololo. Also, we want to assess the relative
importance of the mechanisms responsible for the transport of O3-rich air from intrusion areas, where STE occurs, to the Tololo
site, i.e., advection, large-scale subsidence and turbulent mixing. To identify characteristic patterns of STE, a climatology of typical air-masses arriving at Tololo will be built-up on the basis of composite analyses of reanalysis data using potential vorticity (PV), water vapor and the like as STE proxies. Further details will be identified by using high-resolution (ca. 0.1º, 3 hourly) climatological fields, dynamically interpolated from reanalysis data for nine months in the years 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000, which cover typical meteorological situations over the Tololo area, including El Niño and La Niña years. In situ vertical soundings of O3 will be carried out three times a day, daily during a 10-days long campaign in the spring of 2004 at Tololo.
Complementarily, meteorological soundings will be performed during the campaign. Also, measurements of a beryllium isotope (7Be), sampled for 24 hours every three days along one year, and carbon monoxide (CO), continuously sampled during the campaign, will be concurrently performed in order to discriminate the origin of air masses. Regional and meso-scale numerical simulations of stratospheric intrusions as expressed in dynamical variables (e.g., PV) and in transport of an O3-like tracer will be
performed. These simulations will be done for typical spring conditions as identified by the climatological data and for selected events according to the data collected during the campaign. Meteorological models will be used to produce dynamically interpolated three-dimensional (3-D) regional and meso-scale meteorological fields, which will drive a 3-D Eulerian transport model that will simulate the intrusion and subsequent dispersion of an O3-like tracer subject to photolysis and dry deposition. The
simulations will be evaluated against in situ and available satellite measurements of O3, water vapor and other relevant STE
tracers.
