Dr. Tatiana A. Tarasova(Curriculum Vitae)






After graduating Physics Department of Moscow State University in the end of 70-s years we were working in the Moscow A.M. Oboukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics of Russian Academy of Science (IAP RAS).
From 1995 to 2009 we were working as invited scientists in Brazilian research centers: the Centre of Weather Forecast and Climate Studies (CPTEC), the System of Meteorology of Parana State(SIMEPAR), the Parana State University. Participating in the project PROBIO (2005-2007) we have developed the climate version of the NCEP ETA model (ETA CCS) and performed long-term integration for periods 1961-1990 and 2071-2100.

During fifteen years of our work in Brazil we were conducting theoretical investigations in the atmospheric physics, have developed new methods for the parametrisation of physical processes in atmospheric circulation models and proposed new methods for model performance evaluation.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Specialized in geophysical hydrodynamics: Investigated the behavior of ultralong waves in the Earth atmosphere considering energy and enstrophy exchange between modes, a formation of ruptures, instability of zonal flow with respect to ultralong wave disturbances in the planetary-scale geostrophic motion approximation.

Carried out research of blocking situations in the atmosphere using adiabatic invariants approach. Determination of a diagnostic relation between dissipation and heat inflow is one of the directions in this study. Investigated the role of orography in the interaction of Rossby waves with the zonal flow.

Studied the phenomena of tornadogenesis, exactly the role of vapor-water phase transition during tornadogenesis.

Modeled low-frequency stochastic atmospheric processes and climatic changeability with the help of low-order intermediate model founded on the equations of two-dimensional baroclinic atmosphere including orography. Developed and applied the methods of dynamical system theory for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the behaviour of low-order hydrodynamical type systems.Applied the Lyapunov-Arnold methods to investigation of instability of non-linear atmospheric processes.

Carried out the diagnostic investigations, using conceptions of adiabatic invariants for the evaluation of the quality of CPTEC-COLA GCM and for developing the schemes of the climate regime classification.

Modeled ENSO regimes and carried out diagnostic investigations on detecting connections between ENSO phase and peculiarities of local circulation over Southern part of Brazil and North Brazil. Investigated correlations between variations of intensity of precipitation over west cost South America in subtropical lattitudes and variations of large-scale potential vorticity.

Studied sensitivity of regional mesoscale model ARPS to boundary conditions and to various schemes of physical parameterizations. Developed methods and programms for evaluating the model skill score. Adjusted ARPS mesomodel for using as operational model for Parana state region in Brazil.

Developed the Eta regional model for climate running (Eta CCS). Developed methods and programs for the analisys of consistency of regional model and driving global circulation model.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Developed the broad band shortwave radiation code for use in the climate model of Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), Moscow, Russia. Estimated the change of global and regional near surface air temperature related to the various aerosol loadings of the atmosphere by running the IAP climate model.

Proposed the techniques for the derivation of optical parameters of aerosols and clouds from ground-based solar radiation measurements. Participated in the five field cloud-radiation experiments carried out in the Moscow region from 1986 to 1994 by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) and in the ship expedition conducted by IAP in Atlantic Ocean.

Developed the broad band solar radiation code for the calculation of solar radiation fluxes in gaseous atmosphere with smoke aerosol loading in clear-sky conditions. Calculated surface incident solar radiation fluxes and compared with the fluxes measured during Smoke, Clouds and Radiation - Brazil (SCAR-B) Field Experiment carried out in August and September 1995 in Central Brazil and Southern Amazonas. Studied the temperature aerosol effect at the Earth's surface.

With the use of developed shortwave radiation code performed analysis of long-term measurements of surface incident solar radiation and meteorological variables obtained at six observational sites in Amazonia and Rondonia regions of Brazil established in 1991 during the Anglo-Brazilian Amazonian Climate Observation Study (ABRACOS) in conjunction with sunphotometer measurements taken at the Amazonian sites of the AERONET global sunphotometer network.

Studied the difference between the values of incident solar radiation fluxes (cloud radiative forcing) provided by the 10-year simulation of the CPTEC/COLA global model and by the Surface Radiative Budget project data sets over South America in the period of 1986-1988.

Implemented new solar and thermal radiation schemes into the CPTEC Global model and Eta regional climate model (Eta CCS). Compared the new and original schemes with the exact line-by-line method off line. Integrated these models with the new and original schemes for periods from a few months to 10 years. Analyzed the difference between the monthly mean fields of surface radiation balance and meteorological parameters related to the change of radiation schemes.

Developed new versions of the CLIRAD-SW shortwave radiation code for models of NASA GSFC. The new versions take into account the continuum absorption by water vapor and the new parameterizations of gaseous absorption. The new parameterizations allow to diminish the number of spectral intervals in the code and hence its computational time without loosing the code accuracy. Studied the code accuracy in the cloud layers for 15 test cases.
