Data parallel processing in block streams for analysis of long-term series of ozone content in ground atmosphere

Abstract

The article describes a new approach to the processing of long series of ozone monitoring data in the surface atmosphere called the Data Parallel Processing in Block Streams. The proposed method is based on splitting of a sequential series of initial data into blocks filled with surface ozone monitoring data for one day. Further, a chain is formed from such blocks, the length of which is determined by the total length of the monitoring process. Along this chain of blocks, parallel processing of the initial data is carried out, aimed at smoothing out fast fluctuations. The smoothed data is then used to determine the daily production of ozone due to photochemical reactions, its minimum nighttime levels, as well as the magnitude of nighttime maxima. The possibilities of the proposed approach are demonstrated using the analysis of surface ozone monitoring data in Moscow, Russia, in 2020. The prospects for further application of the developed method are discussed.
