Description
Summary:The purpose of the present paper is studying spatial and temporal variations of stratospheric ozone by simultaneous measurements. The research has been performed in a rather interesting Arctic region where most frequently there are hurricanes in the winter stratosphere of the Earth -so-called winter polar vortex. As a rule, the centre of the vortex lies in this area We present the results of simultaneous observations of stratospheric ozone in the winter 2003/2004 at heights from 20 to 60 km. The measurements were conducted by the ground-based microwave instruments, which are at the Polar Geophysical Institute, Apatity (67°N, 35°E), Russia and at the Institute of Space Physics, Kiruna (68°N, 20°E), Sweden. Besides, we used the results of balloon measurements of ozone vertical distribution from the surface up to the heights of 25-30 km performed by electrochemical cell type ECC-6A at the Meteorological Institute, Sodankylä (67°N, 27°E), Finland and at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Koldewey-Station 211
