Abstract:

At present, the relationship between sulfur dioxide (SO₂) concentration and small-scale turbulence within Southern Baikal has been described in a limited volume. The paper presents the results of a study of jet streams and atmospheric turbulence affecting the surface SO₂ content over Listvyanka station. The cases are considered when the surface SO₂ concentration tends to increase at negative vertical turbulent specific heat fluxes. This occurs against the background of the formation of jet streams within the lower layer of the atmosphere and large vertical shears of the wind speed below the jet formation height. The vertical turbulent specific heat flux in the surface layer of the atmosphere can serve as a key indicator determining the possibility of a positive relationship between the surface SO₂ concentration and the total kinetic energy of turbulence. The analysis revealed that the SO₂ concentration tends to increase at negative vertical turbulent temperature fluxes against the background of the development of low-level jet streams. In similar situations, but with positive or close to zero temperature flux values, SO₂ concentrations usually remain at background levels.
