Keywords: wind profile, reconstruction, spatio-temporal spectrum, strong intensity fluctuations regime

Abstract >>
In this paper, the analysis of the possibility of spatio-temporal filtering of the correlation function of laser beam intensity in the turbulent atmosphere at strong optical turbulence regime is presented. It is shown, that, despite significant distortions in the high-frequency band of spatio-temporal spectrum in comparison with weak turbulence regime, the increase of the temporal delay between the frames allows to separate the impacts of different intervals of the optical path. The characteristic scales of spectral responses differ essentially from current point coordinate along the path. This allows extracting the information about the wind velocity profile.

Keywords: self-focusing, filamentation, refocusing, diffraction-beam tube

Abstract >>
A class of energy light structures in nonlinear wave physics, so called diffraction-beam tubes in a self-focusing dissipative medium, is established. It is shown that their interaction along a propagation distance of high-power femtosecond laser radiation forms areas of light energy localization, stable in the sense of the physical characteristics, i.e., filament and post-filamentation channel, as well as conservative periphery. Stabilization of boundaries of the mentioned areas is provided by additional contraction of diffractive nature from the side of periphery. The dependences of filamentation length of a laser pulse on power and beam radius and the fact of high intensity conservation in the post-filamentation light channel are interpreted using this concept.

Abstract >>
A problem of transportation of high-power laser radiation energy at a wavelength of 10.6 μm in the atmosphere is theoretically considered under the conditions of development of its thermal and wind nonlinearities. The power characteristics of continuous and pulse-periodic radiations during propagation along a surface kilometer-long atmospheric path at sharp focusing onto receiver are studied. The main factors having the largest effect on distribution of the influencing radiation are determined. It is established that one succeeds in reducing of undesirable effect of thermal defocusing using a train of low-power short pulses with rather high repetition rate at the expense of the effect of light-induced “blooming” of the gas medium. The questions of scaling of the optical paths from the viewpoint of their equivalence in appearing of thermal nonlinearity are discussed.

Keywords: simulation, thermal blooming, combinied beam

Abstract >>
The simulation algorithms of propagation of the coherent and incoherent combined beams in a turbulent atmosphere under conditions of thermal blooming are presented. The properties of focused combined beams in comparison with the equivalent Gaussian beam are studied. It is shown that there is a complex diffraction pattern of the coherent combined beams fields. Nevertheless, the maximal intensity in the beam crossection is almost the same both for coherent and incoherent combined beams, as well as for Gaussian beam if the nonlinearity parameter exceeds unity. In the conditions of strong optical turbulence and strong thermal blooming the integral characteristics of the combined beams are close to those of a Gaussian beam, which has an effective size commensurable with the size of combined beams. Turbulent fluctuations of the intensity of incoherent combined beams are less than those of coherent combined beams.

Abstract >>
Inverse problem of atmospheric transport has been applied to estimate surface fluxes of CO2 for 2009–2010 using station and space-borne (GOSAT) observation data. Flux adjustments for each kind of sources are represented as a linear combination of main flux components according to surface gas exchange. For atmospheric transport simulation we used coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian model (GELCA model). Due to a huge amount of observation data per month (3000–5000) we used Fix-Lag Kalman Smoother for solving inverse problem that allows us to estimate monthly fluxes successively according to the chosen assimilation window. Results were presented as 2D fields of monthly surface fluxes for each kind of sources. Our calculations show the significant uncertainty reduction of fluxes in case of including GOSAT observations.

Keywords: synchronism, essential indicators, external forcing

Abstract >>
A hypothesis is putts forward assuming that the external forcing action synchronizes the climatic processes and manifest itself in the similarity of their essential indicators. Orthogonal components of processes, differing in coincidence or non-coincidence of the essential indicators are introduced. The theory is applied to decompose a series of temperature and the Wolf numbers. It is found that the average quantities of orthogonal components of temperatures form areas either positive or negative values. In the same areas, delinited by the zero isotherms, fall average quantities of the same components of the Wolf numbers. Compliance with the physics of climatic processes is confirmed by the intersection near the vernal equinox of annual cycle of the numbers of the weather stations, which belong to the areas of monthly average positive or negative temperatures. A new tool is found to analyze the information contained in the observation data of climatic processes.

Abstract >>
The impact of the major meteorological processes on the concentration of formaldehyde in the city of Tomsk is studied. It is shown that the highest concentrations are mostly established at low atmospheric pressures in a combination with high air temperatures. The relative humidity effect is insignificant. The weak precipitation reduces the pollution concentration. The amount of background formaldehyde pollution caused by the permanent man-made and natural sources is determined. The grouping of various types of synoptic processes in five compact classes being signs of possible formation of high concentration of formaldehyde is proposed.

Keywords: adaptive mirror, phase correction of laser beam, optical aberrations, stochastic parallel gradient algorithm, laser irradiation

Abstract >>
The methods of the control of a wide-aperture 61-element adaptive mirror implemented at the “Luch” facility are numerically investigated. These methods are based on the stochastic parallel gradient (SPG) algorithm and the least-squares approach (LSA) for control voltage calculation. The capability of the adaptive mirror is determined regarding to correction of phase aberrations. It is found that SPG algorithm is capable to practically completely realize the potential of the adaptive mirror on the energy focusing. By means of SPG algorithm it is possible to obtain more efficient correction of the laser beam aberrations in comparison with that realized in the experiments under conventional adaptive mirror operation mode based on the phase measurement by a wavefront sensor. A combined method (based on SPG algorithm and LSA) of adaptive mirror control is proposed. By means of this method it is possible to obtain the laser energy in diffraction angle at a level of 40% and the Strehl number at a rate of 0.4.
