Abstract:

According to aircraft sensing, the distribution of CO and СО2 inside cloudy. It is shown, that inside a cloud growth of carbon oxide concentration by (14.1±10.4) ppb and reduction of contents of carbon dioxide by (4.7±2.6) ppm is observed. The execess of CO and deficiency СО2 in clouds of various forms is analyzed. Two possible mechanisms, which provide excess of CO in clouds are given. Estimations of the global contribution of the specified phenomena are performed, which have shown, that values of the excess of CO and deficiency of СО2 are comparable with their global contents.
