Synoptic-scale fluctuations of total ozone in the atmosphere

Synoptic-scale fluctuations of total ozone in the atmosphere

A model, based on ozone-concentration tendency equation, is developed to study synoptic ozone-column variations. The application is referred to a middle-latitude site and to an atmospheric layer extending from the surface up to about 35-km altitude. Photochemical effects at the considered locati...
