Tropical Cyclones Reduce Ozone in the Tropopause Region Over the Western Pacific: An Analysis of 18 Years Ozonesonde Profiles

Abstract Typhoons play a key role in causing low ozone concentrations in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) over the western Pacific. In this study, 18 years records (2000–2017) of balloon‐borne ozone measurements in Hong Kong (22.3°N, 114.2°E) and Naha (26.2°N, 127.7°E) are combine...
