Abstract
The new observational data at millimeter wavelengths of the vertical distribution of stratospheric ozone over Moscow during the significant ozone depletion in the Northern Hemisphere in spring 2011 and during the circulation disturbance in the mid-winter sudden stratospheric warming in 2010 are presented. Significant interannual variations in the altitude distribution of ozone concentration are detected. The revealed significant ozone variations due to large-scale atmospheric processes show the importance of the monitoring of ozonosphere by radio physical methods for studying its evolution.
