Study of surface-based temperature inversions in the city of Nadym (Western Siberia) with direct measurements and numerical simulation

Frequent surface-based inversions are persistent features of climate in the Arctic and, in particular, in its Russian part. Most favourable conditions for temperature inversion formation during the winter period in this region are observed. Surface-based inversions formed in cities are most interesting for research, because of their impact on people's health. Besides, "urban"surface-based inversions differ from "rural"ones, because of interactions with the urban heat island (UHI). Actually, urban surface-based inversions in the Arctic are weakly understood due to poor meteo monitoring equipment of most Arctic regions and because the reanalysis resolution is too low for the cities. To estimate the frequency of surface-based inversions and spatial distributions in the city of Nadym (Western Siberia), measurements with gradient complexes during the period from 18.12.2018 to 15.10.2019 have been conducted, and a numerical experiment with a model Advanced Research WRF (ARW) has been performed for the coldest days of the period. In the research, first statistic microclimatic data of vertical temperature distributions in the city of Nadym have been obtained. Such model experiments are realized for that region, and the results obtained for the rural area are compared with microwave temperature profiler MTP-5 measurements. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
