A field experiment on modeling the impact of aerosol layers on the variability of solar insolation and meteorological characteristics of the surface layer
Abstract
Described are the results of a field experiment carried out in 2010 on studying the impact of artificial aerosol formations on the solar insolation intensity and thermal characteristics of the atmospheric surface layer. The composition of the measuring equipment complex is given and the results of the experiment and its theoretical analysis are presented. It is demonstrated that the solar radiation flux decrease results in rather rapid response of the surface air layer manifesting itself in the considerable decrease in temperature and turbulent heat fluxes. The theoretical estimates corroborate the obtained experimental data. The field experiment is the continuation of researches carried out in 2008 and 2009.

Unlike natural plumes with uncertain sources, the Russian experiments enabled precise quantification of injected mass and particle properties, establishing cause-effect relationships between controlled emissions and radiative/thermal responses.

The Russian trials demonstrated rapid reversibility, with observed near-surface air temperature rebounds of ~0.3-0.4°C occurring within hours, as the submicron aerosols dispersed rapidly in the lower atmosphere.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
