One cannot guess how a word functions. One has to look at its use and learn from that. But the difficulty is to remove the prejudice which stands in the way of doing this. It is not a stupid prejudice.

Study of the genesis, structure and physical characteristics of mesospheric noctilucent clouds in the context of the problem of climate change

Priority area: Information, telecommunication and space technologies, scientific research in the field of natural sciences

6970 

Project manager:  Solodovnik A.A., Candidate of Physical and Matematical Sciences.

Project executors: Leontiev P.I., PhD., Zhuravlev P.L., magister, Kryuchkov V.N., magister, Alyoshin D.V., magister, Reybandt A.I., magister

Terms of execution: 2018-2020

Amount of financing: 96,500,000 tenge.

Project goal: Experimental study of the nature of mesospheric noctilucent clouds with a special emphasis on identifying the relationship of their formation with weather and climatic phenomena and cosmic factors.

Expected results: Complex of data of synoptic and morphological ground and space observations of noctilucent cloud fields, the mechanism of their formation. Estimates of macro and microphysical parameters of the cloud environment. Clarification of the nature of climatic changes for the territory, including the northern regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Description of the project: The project directly continues studies of the nature of mesospheric noctilucent clouds, which have been carried out since 2006 in the direction of deepening and clarifying the earlier obtained results on the relationship of mesospheric noctilucent clouds with weather and climatic phenomena and processes, forms, solving the problem of the origin of mesospheric noctilucent clouds.

It is advisable to seek a solution to the research problem using traditional and newest methods of observing noctilucent clouds in conjunction with the most modern methods of processing their results, involving the widespread use of information technologies. In particular, to reveal the optical effects of contrasting cloud layers of different levels, the influence of changes in the conditions of scattering of solar radiation on the photometric characteristics of noctilucent clouds, to identify color shades and spectrophotometric gradient.

Project objectives:
−Carrying out a complex of experimental and theoretical studies of noctilucent clouds by obtaining new observational data and consistent deep processing of the obtained material, including the results of ground and space monitoring of the Earth's atmosphere;
−study of the spectral characteristics of cloud formations.
