The vertical distribution of atmospheric ozone in high latitudes
In conjunction with Dr. Götz we have recently given an account of a new method of finding the vertical distribution of ozone in the atmosphere, and have used this method to determine the distribution above Arosa, Switzerland. It was found that the average height of the ozone in the atmosphere was mu...

In conjunction with Dr. Götz we have recently given an account of a new method of finding the vertical distribution of ozone in the atmosphere, and have used this method to determine the distribution above Arosa, Switzerland. It was found that the average height of the ozone in the atmosphere was much lower than had previously been thought, and these results have since been confirmed by Professor Regener who has obtained ultra-violet spectra from small balloons up to a height of 30 km. So far the vertical distribution of ozone has not been found anywhere except in Switzerland and in view of the connection between the variations in amount of ozone and atmospheric pressure distribution, and with polar and equatorial air currents, it was of interest to know the distribution in high and low latitudes also. By the kindness of Professor Vegard and the Norwegian Committee for Geophysics arrangements were made to take one of the special photoelectric spectro-photometers for measuring ozone to Tromsø (latitude 69° 40' N., 18° 57' E.) where observations were carried out at the Nordlysobservatorium during May and June, 1934.
