Description:
The Backscatter Ultraviolet (BUV) experiment on board the Nimbus 4 polar orbiting satellite has been measuring the total ozone content and high-level atmospheric ozone profiles since early 1970. Synoptic type analyses of these data are now being accomplished and compared with appropriate constant-pressure analyses of stratospheric circulation. Ozone changes during a stratospheric warming of early 1971 are investigated by comparison with circulation changes in the layer between 30 mb (24 km) and 2 mb (42 km). A general increase in ozone concentrations, more pronounced in the higher latitudes, is noted during the warming period. Plans for future investigation are discussed, including analysis of ozone observations beginning from 1970 on every two-day basis for comparison with constant-pressure height, temperature, and wind charts analyzed with the aid of radiosonde, rocketsonde, and satellite data.
