The intensive polar stratospheric vortex in the Arctic that shifted to northern Europe in the winter of 2019-2020 caused low temperatures and the frequent occurrence of polar stratospheric clouds followed by a significant decrease in the total ozone content. Polarimetry and multi-color photometry us...
