Passive scalar tracers in chaotic and turbulent atmosphere

Abstract

The notion of helical distributed chaos has been used for the description of the spatio-temporal dynamics of the passive scalar tracers from the atmospheric surface layer up to the mesosphere (at different stability conditions and different latitudes). Point, linear and distributed sources and sinks with different types of artificial and natural trace-gases (ozone, carbon dioxide, etc.), and aerosols have been studied. Related properties of the solar radiation transmittance in the cloudy atmosphere have been also briefly discussed as well as analogous properties of the tracers in Jupiter's atmosphere.
