“…All these factors lead to a measurable amount of ozone being carried down to the troposphere and hence to the surface of the earth by diffusion, subsidence and eddy mixing. Midya et al [16][17][18] showed that the minor constituent O 3 plays important role to control the chemical kinetics of atmospheric constituents. TCO variation also plays important role on surface temperature [19][20][21][22] TCO is also low on the day of earthquake [23].…”

A critical analysis of Total Column Ozone (TCO) over Dum Dum, West Bengal, India is done during different seasons for the period of 1997 to 2005. It is confirmed that pre-monsoon rate of change of TCO over Dum Dum is highly correlated with Gangetic West Bengal, India monsoon rainfall of same year and that of TCO during other seasons are independent of monsoon rainfall over Gangetic West Bengal. It is also concluded that pre-monsoon rate of change of TCO may play an important role to forecast monsoon rainfall of a particular year over Gangetic West Bengal. It is also showed that other parameters affecting monsoon rainfall are insignificant w.r.t. TCO variations. A possible explanation based on chemical kinetics of O 3 are also presented.
