英文摘要 | Tropospheric temperature inversions are thought to be an important feature of climate as well as a significant factor affecting air quality and low-level cloud formation. The aim of this study is to investigate the temporal and spatial variability of the tropospheric temperature inversions, in particular so-called elevated inversions, over Europe. The analysis is based on data gained from ERA-Interim reanalysis for the period 1981-2015. The data consist of air temperature, and geopotential height from the entire vertical cross-section of the troposphere, that is, from 1,000 to 100 hPa. The study examines the temporal (intra- and inter-annual) variability of the temperature inversions based on their frequency, base height, depth, and strength. The analysis conducted revealed that the temperature inversions are a common phenomenon occurring in the lower troposphere. Their temporal and spatial variability is, however, determined by the inversion type. Surface-based inversions (SBI) indicate a clear diurnal cycle, while the day-night variability of elevated inversions (EI) is far less pronounced. Two main regions of the most frequent EI occurrence may be distinguished. These are: (a) a marine area west of the Iberian Peninsula and (b) Eastern Europe. Both of them are located in areas which are under the influence of extensive high-pressure systems-the permanent Azores High and semipermanent Siberian High, respectively. The development of EI should be therefore attributed to the large-scale subsidence and adiabatic heating of air parcels. EI are also quite common over the other parts of the Atlantic Ocean, which is closely linked to the development of marine inversions. SBI tend to be stronger than EI-the mean seasonal inversion strength is usually substantially higher for SBI. In turn, EI reach higher values of the mean seasonal inversion depth as compared with SBI. |
