Coefficient of turbulent diffusion (top), zonal waveacceleration of the mean flow (middle) and the zonal component ofvertical wave momentum flux (bottom) produced by the IGWspectrum and calculated for the Issyk-Kul station.The presence of turbulence in the atmosphere produces the mixing, which leads, inparticular, to the fluxes of atmospheric admixtures from the troposphere to the stratosphere orback depending on the vertical distribution of the particular admixture. In particular,turbulence may lead to descend of ozone from the stratosphere to the troposphere. Thevertical flux of an admixture can be described by the following formulae:F = −Kncdln c / dz , (1)where K is the turbulent diffusion coefficient; n is the number density of the atmosphere; c isthe mixing ratio of the considered admixture. Using the values of c for the altitudes 12 – 17km from the model of vertical ozone pro<strong>file</strong> [Zuev and Komarov, 1986] for the values of K ~1 – 10 m 2 /s shown in Figures 2 and 4 we may obtain the estimate F ~ (1–10)×10 14 m -2 s -1 . Itis comparable <strong>with</strong> usually assumed downward ozone transport by the general circulation ofthe atmosphere.236
