Ozone distribution on 12.10.1979 and 12.10.2007

Regular satellite measurements of total ozone content (TOC) had been measurements ozone (TOC) been carried out using TOMS (Total ozone mapping spectrometer) from 1978 (with a gap in 1994-96) till 2005 and have been prolonged with OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument) from 2004 hitherto. Presented work it consists of the TOC distribution analysis in southern high latitudes.

TOC decrease in Antarctic Region
During last decades total ozone content in the Antarctic region has been decreased, especially during spring. From mid-1990s spring From mid some stabilization has been observed. The satellite measurements show a global distribution of TOC values. The ozone content diminution is the largest in the high latitudes of Southern Hemisphere in spring (predominantly in September and October). Long-term changes of the September-November zonal mean mean TOC at 65°S Daily mean TOC values for September-November at 65°S

Interannual changes of ozone distribution asymmetry

1979-83

September-November averaged ozone distribution at 65°S for 1979-83 and 2002-06. A long-term TOC decrease is significant. The diminution is maximal in the region of low values, which shifted eastward.

Quasi-stationary wave in zonal distribution
Minimum

Large-scale ozone variations are ozone connected with the planetary wave propagation in stratosphere. The planetary wave with zonal number 1 is prevailing in stationary distribution.

Maximum

Time-longitude TOC distribution at 65єS latitude during SeptemberNovember 2005. Quasi-stationary wave 1 causes the low values over the values Southern Atlantic and high ones south of Australia and New Zealand. Wave amplitude is maximal in October.

Ozone distribution in Southern Hemisphere
Asymmetry in total ozone content (TOC) distribution is a typical feature of the Antarctic atmosphere. The asymmetry is conditioned by the planetary wave of zonal number m = 1. Respectively, the asymmetry ti th relative to the Pole appears in stratosphere temperature horizontal distribution. The main goal of this presentation is to present TOC and lower TOC lower stratosphere temperature distribution in Antarctic Region during last decades.

Linear trends of quasi-stationary wave amplitude for SeptemberNovember. At 50°S and 55°S the trends are statistically insignificant (not shown). The amplitude and its increasing are the largest at 65°S, where the air masses of middlelatitude and polar origin exist.

Ozone and stratosphere temperature distribution

In spring a decrease of lower stratosphere temperature exists in the ozone minimum region. During other seasons temperature differences between ozone extrema are small.

Zonal asymmetry of temperature wave
The strong temperature zonal asymmetry in 2002 asymmetry in followed sharp stratosphere warming in September with ozone hole with splitting. The 1988 warming was slower and did not reach inner parts of stratospheric polar vortex.

The unexpected stratospheric processes in 1988 and 2002
Anomalous features for 1988 and 2002 consist in: the strong increasing of ozone zonal mean; short-term ozone hole existence; Quasi-stationary wave at 65°S for September-November the increasing of PW amplitude during late winter early spring; westward displacement of wave maximum's and minimum's positions.

Conclusions
1. Ozone hole over Antarctic Region is systematically displaced ll di toward Atlantic longitudinal sector. Ozone content distribution in zonal direction is very inhomogeneous due to this displacement. direction is very inhomogeneous 2. During last decades zonal asymmetry in ozone distribution has increased. This process is caused by larger ozone losses in the highlatitude region. Wave amplitude and its trend are maximal in edge region of ozone hole at latitude near 65°S (respectively, 55-75 DU and ~8 DU/decade for September-November). for

Conclusions-2
3. The asymmetry in lower stratosphere temperature distribution is The in lower distribution is connected with ozone content one. Maximal temperature differences are observed during ozone hole period. 4. Wave amplitude increase in August temperature in the Southern li high latitudes resulted in a sharp 2002 stratosphere warming. Such increasing can be considered as a condition for estimation of the condition for large stratospheric warming possibility in next months.
