The Ozone Distribution in the Atmosphere

Abstract: The world wide distribution of total ozone and its changes with season are discussed as well as the variability on different time scales. A climatology of the vertical ozone distribution is presented and an attempt is made to derive some inference on ozone transport by the general circulation and its interaction with photochemical processes. It is found that longer observational series in an improved network are needed for puttting such a derivation on a firmer basis. The observed year-to-year changes of world… Show more

“…Firstly, during the Northern Hemisphere fall and winter, an underestimated region is observed between the northeastern side of Asia and the northwestern side of Canada as well as an overestimated region between Greenland and the Scandinavian Peninsula. This pattern re- flects the quasi-stationary features of the upper-air circulation due to the sea-land distribution in the Northern Hemisphere as discussed in Dütsch (1974) or in Fusco and Salby (1999). Secondly, strong longitudinal gradients in the distribution of the errors are observed over Antarctica due to the ozone hole in September and October.…”

“…This feature, reflecting the poleward and downward transport of ozone into the lowermost stratosphere in the winter hemisphere, is discussed extensively in papers interpreting the first few years of sonde data [e.g., Dutsch, 1966 Figures 6b and 6c) from a spring maximum in the lowermost stratosphere, where the lifetime of ozone is long and controlled largely by dynamics, to a summer maximum by 10 hPa, where the lifetime of ozone is relatively short and controlled by photochemistry, is also discussed in these papers and in subsequent reviews [Dutsch, 1978;London, 1985 Year-round measurements are available for three stations on the edge of the Antarctic continent since the discovery of the ozone hole but for only one, Syowa, before (Figures 5e and 6g). The annual cycle of ozone before the ozone hole is different from that at northem high latitudes [Dutsch, 1974[Dutsch, , 1978. …”

“…The spring maximum values occur about one month later in the polar regions. The asymmetry in the winter buildup of the two hemispheres can be explained by the well-known differences in the circulation features in the two hemispheres, as described by Newell et al (1974), Dutsch (1974) These data arc used to form a time-latitude cross section similar to that in Figure 3 for BUV data.…”
