ИСТИНА

Currently in the whole world big attention is paid to the state of natural environment and techniques of instrumental monitoring of it. Continuously growing human population and anthropogenic load on the nature, intensive exploitation and consumption of natural resources results in degradation of the natural environment. The most dramatic situations occur in highly populated areas with well developed industrial and urban infrastructure, such as Central Economic Region of Russia. For that reason, techniques of the instrumental monitoring of the atmospheric dynamics in the city and the region become especially important. These techniques should combine both in situ measurements and remote sensing of the atmospheric parameters, providing characterization of the environment in average at different scales. Complicated structure of the TID ring-shaped pattern is established and determined from thorough data analysis. Contributions of regional industrial centers surrounding Moscow are separated and estimated from the common TID field, formed mostly by the Moscow city itself. Estimated efficiency of TID generation by local sources is in good agreement with theoretical expectations derived from energy budget considerations. Obtained results indicate close interaction between atmospheric and ionospheric disturbances in Moscow region and surrounding regions, which can be related to mesoscale processes of air mass transport in the atmosphere.
