Abstract:

The physical-statistical analysis of the temperature, humidity, and wind fields within the atmospheric boundary layer of Eastern Siberia was done. The results showed that the vertical statistical structure of the mentioned fields has both the generalities and the specified features depended on the season and the geographical location of the station. Thus the thickest inversions of temperature and humidity up to 1600 m are observed in winter at the central regions of Eastern Siberia. At the same season, western wind velocity decreases as altitude grows higher 300 m (while it increases from earth surface at the rest of the area) and southern meridional wind velocity decreases as altitude grows here although north wind and its increasing with height prevails over the rest of the region territory. The interlevel correlations of variations of temperature, humidity, and wind at the ground and higher altitude levels in the atmospheric boundary layer decrease with increasing distance between the examined levels more rapid in winter. The correlations of wind velocity components weaken as altitude grows slower in the arctic regions as compared with the rest of the Eastern Siberia area.
