Ozone Content over the Russian Federation in 2018

Аннотация

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