Ozone content over the Russian Federation in 2016

Abstract

The review is based on the results of the operation of the total ozone (TO) monitoring system in the CIS and Baltic countries. The system is functioning in the operational regime at the Central Aerological Observatory (CAO) under methodological supervision of the Main Geophysical Observatory and uses the data from the national network equipped with M-124 filter ozonometers. The quality of the entire system functioning is under operational control based on the observations obtained from the OMI satellite equipment (NASA, the United States). The basic TO observation data are generalized for each month of the fourth quarter of 2016, for the fourth quarter as a whole, and for the whole year. The results of regular observations of surface ozone content carried out in the Moscow region and Crimea are also considered.
