With the aid of the previously developed approach of satellite radiothermovision, satellite radiometric measurements of the Earth in a continuous observation interval from 2003 to 2017 were analyzed. About 22 000 pairs of synchronous fields of the global coverage of the atmospheric total precipitable water and of the water vapor advection rates were constructed with 6-hour time step on a regular grid with a sampling of 0.25°. The obtained dynamic description of the atmosphere made it possible to study the characteristics of atmospheric circulation in terms of latent heat fluxes at climatically significant scales. The calculated characteristic parameters of the circulation are basically in good qualitative and quantitative agreement with the known data. The zonal circulation structure was clearly identified, obtained were the typical values of latitudinal distributions of advection velocities, positions and seasonal migration of the borders of the Hadley cells, the average position of the thermal equator over the World Ocean, the average positive transfer of latent heat from the southern hemisphere to the northern one, diurnal and annual oscillations of the meridional and zonal fluxes of the latent heat, etc. It was noted that a number of problematic aspects of analysis requires improvement of the space-time details of the initial data series. It is principally achievable within the framework of multisensory satellite radiothermovision. The technical work on providing free access to the calculated advection fields via the geoportal of satellite radiothermovision is being completed.
Keywords: atmospheric circulation, advection of the latent heat, climate, big data, satellite radiothermovision
