Ozone Content over the Russian Federation in the First Quarter of 2018

Аннотация

The review is based on the operation results of the system that monitors the total ozone (TO) in the CIS and Baltic countries and functions in the operational mode at the Central Aerological Observatory (CAO). The monitoring system uses the data from the national network equipped with M-124 filter ozonometers working under the methodological supervision of the Main Geophysical Observatory. The quality of the system functioning is operationally controlled in CAO by the comparison with the observations obtained from the OMI satellite equipment (NASA, USA). Basic TO observation data are generalized for each month of the first quarter of 2018 and for the first quarter. The data of routine observations of surface ozone values in the Moscow region and Crimea are also considered.
