    Notes: Abstract The latitudinal and temporal variations in the vertical profiles of ozone over the Indian subcontinent are discussed. In the equatorial atmosphere represented by Trivandrum (8°N) and Poona (18°N), while tropospheric ozone shows marked seasonal variations, the basic pattern of the vertical distribution of ozone in the stratosphere remains practically unchanged throughout the year, with a maximum at about 28 to 26 km and a minimum just below the tropopause. The maximum total ozone occurs over Trivandrum in the summer monsoon season and the latitudinal anomaly observed over the Indian monsoon area at this time is explained as arising from the horizontal transport of ozone-rich stratospheric air from over the thermal equator to the southern regions. In the higher latitudes represented by New Delhi (28°N), the maximum occurs at 23 km. Delhi, which lies in the temperate regime in winter, shows marked day-to-day variations in association with western disturbances and the strong westerly jet stream that lies over north and central India at this time. Although the basic pattern of the vertical distribution of ozone in the equatorial atmosphere is generally the same in all seasons, significant though small changes occur in the lower stratosphere and in the troposphere. There are small perturbations in the ozone and temperature structures, distinct ozone maxima being always associated with temperature inversions. There are also large perturbances not related to temperature, ozone-depleted regions normally reflecting a stratification of either destructive processes or materials such as dust layers or clouds at these levels. Particularly interesting are the upper tropospheric levels just below the tropopause where the ozone concentration is consistently the smallest, in all seasons and at all places where soundings have been made in India.

    Notes: Abstract The vertical profiles of ozone and temperature from a series of balloon soundings at Delhi (28°N), Poona (18°N) and Trivandrum (8°N) were studied with synoptic meteorological data. While both ozone and temperature profiles show similar variations over all three stations, ozone maxima being always associated with thermally stable layers, the variations are most pronounced over Delhi, particularly in winter and in early spring when a series of western disturbances pass over north India. Both ozone and temperature profiles over Delhi show a layer structure characterized by a series of maxima and minima in both the vertical distribution of ozone and temperature and these are most pronounced in the lower stratosphere. These variations are associated with the influx of ozone-rich middle latitude stratospheric air over Delhi replacing subtropical air.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird über Messungen der luftelektrischen Leitfähigkeit und des Potentialgefälles berichtet, welche während der Sechsten Wissenschaftlichen Kreuzfahrt des indischen Ozeanographischen Forschungsschiffes ≪Ins Kistna≫ in der Bengalischen Bucht im Februar und März 1963 ausgeführt wurden. Die Beobachtungen sind im allgemeinen bei klarem Himmel und ruhiger See gemacht worden, und zwar in dem geographischen Bereich zwischen 8 und 17°N und 80 und 95°E während der Ausfahrt der ≪INS Kistna≫ von Madras (80°E, 13°N) nach Port Blair (93°E, 12°N) und auf der Rückreise nach Madras. In den Bereichen des Ozeans, in denen keine örtlichen Pollutionsquellen bestehen, stimmen die gemessenen Werte der Leitfähigkeit und des Potentialgefälles mit den theoretischen Werten überein, die man erhält, wenn man annimmt, dass ein Ionengleichgewicht besteht, dass die schnellen Ionen vorwiegend durch Zusammenstoss mit schnellen Ionen des entgegengesetzten Vorzeichens vernichtet werden, und dass die schnellen Ionen nur durch die kosmische Höhenstrahlung erzeugt werden. Die Werte der Leitfähigkeit stimmen mit denen überein, die man aus theoretischen Überlegungen gewinnt, und auch mit denen, die während der Kreuzfahrten des Forschungsschiffes ≪Carnegie≫ im Indischen Ozean im Jahre 1920 gemessen Küste sind jedoch bedeutsame Abweichungen festzustellen, wo die elektrischen Verhältenisse über dem Ozean durch Pollutionsquellen auf dem Lande beeinflusst werden. Die Leitfähigkeitswerte nahe dem Land sind nur ungefähr halb so gross wie die in der pollutionsfreien Luft des offenen Ozeans-jedoch haben die während der Mess-Jahreszeit vorherrschenden Winde eine Ausbreitung der Pollutionszone auf einen Bereich von 100 bis 200 km von der Küste beschränkt.
    Notes: Summary Results of measurements of the atmospheric electrical conductivity and potential gradient made during the sixth Scientific Cruise of the Indian Oceanographic Ship INS Kistna in the Bay of Bengal during February–March 1963 are presented. Observations were made when the skies were generally clear and the sea calm, in the geographical area 8°N to 17°N and 80°E to 95°E, on the outward journey of INS Kistna from Madras (80°E, 13°N) to Port Blair (93°E, 12°N) and on the return journey to Madras. Over the ocean where there are no local sources of pollution, the measured values of conductivity and potential gradient are in agreement with theoretical values, assuming that an ion equilibrium exists, that ions are destroyed primarily by collision with small ions of opposite sign and that small ions are produced only by cosmic radiation. The values of electrical conductivity obtained are generally of the same order as those to be expected from theoretical considerations and in general agreement with those obtained during the Carnegie cruises in the Indian Ocean in 1920. There are, however, significant variations near the coast where the electric structure above the ocean is affected by continental sources of pollution. Conductivity values near the land are about half that in the unpolluted air over the ocean but prevailing winds prevent the extension of pollution beyond 100–200 km from the coast in this season.

    Notes: Abstract The surface ozone recorder developed at Poona uses a Brewer electrochemical bubbler ozone sensor and provides a rapid and convenient method for the continous measurement of ozone concentration near the ground. Continuous recording with the sensor is possible if a constant level of solution can be maintained in the bubbler. This was achieved by incorporating a reservoir of KI solution which automatically syphons the solution into the bubbler. The errors inherent in the system and the successful attempts to remove them and obtain continuous records of surface ozone of the accuracy required are described.

    Notes: Abstract Using a modified Brewer bubbler ozone sensor, continuous measurements of the ozone concentration near the ground were made at Poona (18°N, 73°E) for one year 1969–1970. The surface ozone concentration shows a pronounced seasonal variation, with a minimum during the monsoon months and a maximum during the pre-monsoon summer months. There is also a marked diurnal variation in surface ozone concentration which clearly follows the diurnal variation of temperature and is again a maximum during the summer months and a minimum during the monsoon. A secondary maximum in ozone concentration occurs in the forenoon during the winter months, associated with the temperature inversions that occur near the ground in this season. Both ozone and radioactive tracers, such as Cs-137 both in air and in precipitation show variations indicating that they have identical source regions and sinks. The latitudinal anomaly of surface ozone and Cs-137 observed in the low latitudes over India is explained as arising from the reduction in the rate of transfer of these tracers from the stratosphere to the troposphere, as a result of the reversed circulation at the upper levels in this season. From continuous measurements of surface ozone made with three electrochemical sensors exposed at three levels, 0, 15 and 35 m above the ground, the ozone flux has been directly calculated for the first time in the tropics. The ozone flux was calculated using both the rate of decay method used by Kroening and Ney and Regener's profile method. The profile method gives values of the order of 1.71 to 7.04×1011 mol/cm2/sec and that obtained by the rate of decay method is found to be 4.2 to 5.6×1011 mol/cm2/sec and are in good agreement with the flux values reported by other investigators.

    Notes: Abstract A series of ozone soundings were made at New Delhi (77°E 28°N) from 21 to 30 January 1969 and 10 to 22 February 1972 to study the changes in the vertical distribution of atmospheric ozone associated with western disturbances. The sonde used was the Indian ozonesonde made in the Instruments Laboratories at Poona. In February 1972, two western disturbances moved eastwards in quick succession across the western Himalayas, the first between the 11th and 13th and the second between the 13th and 15th. Associated with the first tropospheric trough was a high-speed jet stream with wind speeds reaching 180 knots, when the tropopause descended to 304 mb over Delhi. The second trough had no high-speed jet associated with it and the tropopause was at 227 mb. Ozone maxima were observed at 350, 180 and 125 mb in addition to the main peak at 35 mb in association with the upper tropospheric troughs over Delhi and its neighbourhood. A similar lowering of the tropopause and the influx of ozone in shallow layers was observed during the passage of two upper air troughs in January 1969. The study shows that with the approach of upper tropospheric troughs and the simultaneous lowering of the tropopause there is an increased influx in shallow layers of middle latitude ozone-rich air through breaks in the tropopause, replacing the subropical ozone-poor air over the station.

    Notes: Abstract Short-term fluctuations superimposed on the diurnal variations of surface ozone recorded at Poona during 1969–1970 are discussed. While there is a net production of ozone during electrical discharges in a thunder cloud, the surface ozone recorder often registered a decrease in surface ozone concentration. This decrease coincided with updraughts generated during the formation of a thunderstorm. Similar sharp increases in ozone were observed with downdraughts. In cases of lightning without the development of a thunderstorm over the station, an increase in ozone density was observed just after the first lightning discharge. Apart from the fluctuations associated with thunderstorms in summer, sharp fluctuations in density were also noticed during winter, in the mornings. Abrupt falls in ozone occur with the formation of a stable layer near the ground at night and a sudden surge after the breaking up of the layers in the morning. The changes in ozone are, however, much more pronounced than those in temperature and wind and this striking correlation between surface ozone, surface air temperature and wind provides a unique tool for the study of low-level temperature inversions, their establishment and destruction.

    Notes: Summary Measurements of spectral ultraviolet irradiance require spectroradiometers with high resolution and stability, and well known behavior of the instrument. A UV-spectrophotometer is described and methods of calibrations are shown. A set of measurements in the Utah Rocky Mountains (Snowbird-Hidden Peak, in 3300 m elevation) compared to those at the Wasatch Front (Logan, 1400 m) is discussed. Several sets of measurements are used to show the effect of solar zenith angle, elevation and cloudcover on direct solar and diffuse irradiance.
