Dynamics of the ozone layer in the southern hemisphere based on satellite data

Abstract

Satellite datathe "zonal means"are used to study the processes of formation and disappearance of the Antarctic ozone anomaly (AOA). During the formation of the AOA in September-October, the masses of ozone are transported from the polar region to the middle latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere. In November-December, the AOA is filled with ozone moving from the middle latitudes. The same mass of ozone, reaching more than 70 million tons, is transported from the polar latitudes to middle latitudes and back. No signs of ozone depletion were detected in the Southern Hemisphere in September-December.Space monitoring, satellite data, dynamic atmospheric processes, polar vortex, ozonosphere, Antarctic ozone hole

Variation of the ozonosphere in the southern hemisphere in spring 2014 and 2015 based on satellite data

“…The TO in each circle is longitude-averaged from 0 to 360 degrees. The methods of analyzing ozone mass transport from the mid-latitudes to the Antarctic polar region were described in another study [7].…”
