Abstract

New results of the study of ozone concentration variations in the upper stratosphere over Moscow in the layer at a height of 40 km, which is most sensitive to anthropogenic impacts, are presented. Changes in the ozone concentration and its relation to other atmospheric parameters in cold periods of 2008–2009 and 2009–2010 are analyzed. It was shown that there exist regions with decreased ozone content in the polar vortex and outside of it in air with higher temperature in the upper stratosphere. These phenomena cause deformations of vertical ozone distribution profiles and an appreciable shift of the maximum of the relative content of ozone to lower stratosphere layers.
