Zusammenfassung |
Exceptional patterns in the diurnal course of ozone mixing ratio at a
mountain top site (998 m a.s.l.) were observed during a field experiment
(September 2005). They manifested themselves as strong and sudden decreases
of ozone mixing ratio with a subsequent return to previous levels. The
evaluation of corresponding long-term time series (2000–2005) revealed that
such events occur mainly during summer, and affect the mountain top site on
about 18% of the summer days. Combining (a) surface layer measurements
at mountain summit and at the foot of the mountain, (b) in-situ (tethered
balloon) and remote sensing (SODAR-RASS) measurements within the atmospheric
boundary layer, the origin of these events of sudden ozone decrease could be
attributed to free convection. The free convection was triggered by a rather
frequently occurring wind speed minimum around the location of the mountain. |
