平流层和中层大气研究的进展

Advances in Middle Atmosphere Physics Research

平流层和中层大气研究是20世纪70年代以来持续得到大气科学界和日地物理界共同关注的研究前沿。中国科学界在文化大革命结束后立即抓住这一前沿作为发展重点之一。20多年来,中国科学院大气物理研究所等单位较为系统地开展了这一方向的研究,并在一些方面进行了前沿性的工作。作者着重介绍以下几方面的进展:(1)平流层和中层大气探测设施与探测方法;(2)大气臭氧、平流层气溶胶的监测与分析;(3)行星波在中层大气环流与大气臭氧分布中的作用;(4)重力波在中层大气的传播特征与作用;(5)平流层—对流层交换的动力物理与化学问题。

Research on middle atmosphere including stratosphere and mesosphere has been an active area since 1970s for both atmospheric science and solar-terrestrial physics community, owing to its sig-nificance of understanding upper-lower atmosphere coupling and global climate and environment. Stared in the end of 1970s, this area has been selected as an active area in Chinese scientific community, among them IAP is one of the major research institutes. In this paper, brief reviews are conducted in the follow-ing topics; (1) development of observation facilities and methodology; (2) monitoring and analysis of atmospheric ozone and stratospheric aerosols; (3) planetary wave propagation in the stratosphere and its function on global ozone distribution; (4) gravity wave propagation in the middle atmosphere; (5) dy-namic, physical, and chemical issues of the stratosphere-troposphere exchanges.
