Ozone behaviour associated with the middle stratospheric circulation during the southern spring of 1967
Abstract Large changes in the temperature and ozone content of the stratosphere at Aspendale (38 S, 145 E), Hobart (43 S, 148 E) and Macquarie Island (54 S, 160 E) are associated with the passage of planetary waves in the Antarctic polar vortex. Application of the conservation equation to an ellipti...
