ESTIMATION OF THE COEFFICIENT OF MERIDIANAL MACROTURBULENT DIFFUSION IN THE EQUATORIAL STRATOSPHERE ON THE BASIS OF RADIOACTIVE PRODUCT content of nuclear explosions,

Abstract

According to published results of aircraft and balloon measurements of the concentration of strontium-90 and manganese 54 in the equatorial stratosphere (17 to 37 kilometers), the quantity of isotopes borne through this zone 1963 and 1964 is determined, also the main value of the interlatitude gradient of their average concentration for the same period. These values make it possible to evaluate the average magnitude of the coefficient of meridian large-scale turbulent exchange in the equatorial stratosphere in 1963 and 1964. (Author)
