The Umkehr observations over Kyiv (Ukraine) and Antarctic Peninsula areas were processed for the first time to retrieve and analyse the vertical distribution of ozone. The Umkehr observations have been pre-processed using the UMK92 software package proposed by the World Ozone and UV-radiation Data Centre (WOUDC). The set of the calculated vertical...

The latest state-of-art equipment called Brewer Ozone Spectrophotometer has been installed at Maitri, the permanent Indian Scientific Research Station, Antarctica in July 1999 to monitor total ozone, damaging part of ultra-violet radiation (D-UV), sulphur dioxide (SO­­­2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO­­­2). The depletion of ozone and its fluctuation wer...

The strong Antarctic vortex plays a crucial role in forming an expansive region with significant stratospheric ozone depletion during austral spring, commonly referred to as the Antarctic “ozone hole”. This study examines daily ozone column behavior during this phenomenon using ERA5 reanalysis data and ground-based observations from 10 Antarctic st...

Extremes in stratospheric abundances of HCl (record low), ClONO2 (record high), and ozone (record low) were observed over southern hemisphere mid-latitudes following the 2020 Australian wildfires by satellite records spanning 15–20 years. These unprecedented changes suggest that wildfire aerosols pose a challenge to stratospheric chlorine and ozone...

Column ozone variability has important implications for surface photochemistry and the climate. Ice-core nitrate isotopes are suspected to be influenced by column ozone variability and δ15N(NO3-) has been sought to serve as a proxy of column ozone variability. In this study, we examined the ability of ice-core nitrate isotopes to reflect column ozo...

Ozone protects the livings on the earth from ultraviolet radiation. The emission of ozone depleting substance causes the Antarctic ozone hole and reduces the ultraviolet radiation absorption rate by ozone layer. Researchers find that ozone depleting substances (ODS) accounts for ozone concentration between 9 km and 25km, by chemical-climate models...

The Umkehr observations over Kyiv (Ukraine) and Antarctic Peninsula areas were processed for the first time to re-trieve and analyse the vertical distribution of ozone. The Umkehr observations have been pre-processed using the UMK92software package proposed by the World Ozone and UV-radiation Data Centre (WOUDC). The set of the calculated verticalozone profiles for Kyiv–Goloseyev station (2011–2020) and Akademik Vernadsky station (2005–2009) has been obtained.Analysis of ozone profiles observed with Dobson spectrophotometer D040 indicates that the maximum ozone concentration islocated in the altitude range of 15–25 km with an average height of 19.8 ± 1.4 km. It corresponds to the layer of maximum ozoneconcentration in the mid-latitude stratosphere. The maximum ozone partial content in Dobson Units per the layers (DU/layer)with thickness of 5 km altitude for most of the years are of 60–80 DU/layer. There are also days with the maximum ozone con-tent significantly larger than an average. A characteristic feature of the profiles is that the lower ozone content occur in summerand autumn months in the range of 60–75 DU/layer. The winter and spring profiles demonstrate higher ozone values at themaximum. To analyse the vertical profiles of ozone in Antarctic Peninsula area, we use Umkehr data from observations at theAkademik Vernadsky station with the Dobson D123 spectrophotometers in 2005–2009. The data processing and the calculationof the vertical ozone profiles was provided according to the methodology developed at the Kyiv–Goloseyev station. It is shownthat the ozone profiles at the Akademik Vernadsky station vary in a wide range of values of the maximum ozone concentrationfrom 40 to 110 DU/layer. Ozone content at maximum of vertical distribution was changing dramatically from day to day in theAntarctic region during the ozone hole period (19) (PDF) Український антарктичний журнал.
