The vertical distribution of atmospheric ozone over Canadian stations from umkehr observations
Abstract The vertical distribution of ozone is estimated from umkehr observations at the Canadian ozone stations at Edmonton, Moosonee and Resolute. Average seasonal vertical distributions are presented and compared with European and Indian results. The Canadian results indicate the existence of two...

However, during the winter months, the lower‐level maximum becomes much more pronounced. As a result, there is an extremely good correlation between ozone amount between 12 and 24 km and total ozone, three‐quarters of the seasonal changes in total ozone being attributable to changes in this layer.
