Ozone content over the Russian Federation in the first quarter of 2017

Abstract

The review is based on the results of the operation of the total ozone (TO) monitoring system in the CIS countries. The system is functioning in the operational regime at the Central Aerological Observatory (CAO) and uses the 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 under operational control based on the observations obtained from neighboring countries and the OMI satellite equipment (NASA, USA). Basic TO observation data are generalized for each month of the first quarter of 2017 and for the first quarter. Data on surface ozone values in the Moscow region and Crimea are also provided.
