Mountain wave-induced variations of ozone and total nitrogen dioxide contents over the Subpolar Urals

Resumo

Wavy spatial variations in the contents of trace gases are identified using plane measurements of O₃ concentrations in the medium troposphere and the total content (TC) of NO₂ in the atmospheric column from flights above the Subpolar Urals in April 1984. The results of model calculations allow us to relate these variations to mesoscale atmospheric disturbances above the mountains, which are caused by the influence of dynamic relief on the leaked-in flow.
