Climatology of Stratospheric Ozone Based on SBUV and SBUV/2 Data: 1978-1994

摘要

This atlas presents climatological stratospheric ozone statistics derived fromnearly sixteen years (1978-1994) of daily global satellite observations. Data from Nimbus 7 Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SBUV) (covering November 1978-June 1990) and NOAA 11 SBUV/2 (January 1989-April 1994) are combined into a continuous time series; both column ozone profile information over 25-50 km is presented. The long term record is used to document climatological means, along with daily and interannual variability statistics, for zonal mean and planetary wave variations in ozone column and profile data. Monthly mean cross sections are presented, along with climatological latitude-time and height-time sections.
