La actividad eléctrica atmosférica en Argentina : estimación de la tasa de mortalidad anual por acción de caídas de rayos

Disponer de información de la actividad eléctrica en el territorio nacional es un elemento fundamental para la vigilancia atmosférica. Tanto para aplicaciones de relevancia, en cuestiones de seguridad e infraestructura, así como variable meteorológica, los valores de días de tormenta en las diferentes regiones del país, son una herramienta simple y poderosa para poder evaluar la atmósfera y losfuturos cambios en ella.Los objetivos del presente trabajo son realizar un estudio de la evolución de la eficiencia de detección de descargas eléctricas de la red global terrestre World Wide LightningLocation Network (WWLLN) dentro del territorio nacional, comparar los datos de dicha red con los datos suministrados por el SMN y, en función de la evaluación de dicha información, confeccionar los mapas isoceraúnico de la República Argentina para el periodo 2005-2012.Estos datos se utilizan para estimar la tasa de mortalidad anual por un rayo en la región. La estimación se basa en un modelo propuesto por Gomes Chandima, y Ab Kadir [1]. Los resultados obtenidos podrían ayudar a fomentar conductas de protección en la población.To have information of electrical activity in the country is a key element for atmospheric monitoring. In the fields of applications in security and infrastructure issues and weather variables, the values of stormy days in different regions of the country are a simple and powerful tool to evaluate the atmosphere and future changes. The objectives of this study are to conduct a study of the evolution of the efficiency of lightning detection global terrestrial network World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) within the country, comparing this data with the supplied by the SMN and, depending on the evaluation of that information, make isoceraunics maps of Argentina for the period 2005-2011. These data are used to estimate the annual death rate by lightning in the region. The estimation is based on a model proposed by Chandima Gomes, and AbKadir [1]. The obtained results could help to promote protective behaviors in the population.http://anales.fisica.org.ar/journal/index.php/analesafa/article/view/1995https://anales.fisica.org.ar/journal/index.php/analesafa/article/view/1995publishedVersionFil: Nicora, M.

Intercomparison of Ozone and Temperature Profiles During OZITOS+ 2014 Campaign in Río Gallegos, Argentina

In the framework of SAVER-Net project, the OZone profIle aT Río GallegOS (OZITOS+) campaign was held in the city of Río Gallegos, Argentina (51.5 S; 69.1 W). This experiment was conducted on October 14 -18, 2014 and its main goal was to compare the ozone and temperature profiles using three different measurement techniques such as Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL), ozonesonde and Millimeter Wave Radiometer (MWR). Also other ground-based and satellite-based instruments were included in the experiment but in this work we only present preliminary results from ground-based instruments deployed in the site. The DIAL instrument is part of Network Data for Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) network, and the usual protocols of quality assurance imposed for the network involve regular validation/comparisons experiments. The lidar ozone profiles measured with the lidar are compared with ozone profiles obtained with independent techniques, usually with higher or same resolution as lidar. The experiment are made collocated spatial and temporally. For that reason the Chilean team joined to Japanese and Argentine team at Río Gallegos to develop the experiment. On October 2014, the Río Gallegos Observatory station was inside the polar vortex during first two weeks and after that polar vortex have moved far away from Río Gallegos during the 3rd week of October, when the intercomparison campaign was held. In this paper we are present a preliminary results of the campaign, computing the ozone and temperature profiles from DIAL with ozonesondes and MWR
