The observation methods, instruments and statistical methods used by JARE-51 were similar to those used by JARE-50, except that the sensor for the ozone sonde observations was changed from KC-type ozone sensor to an ECC-type ozone sensor in April 2010, and the instruments used for surface ozone concentration monitoring were replaced in January 2010. Notable observations recorded by JARE-51 include the following: 1) The monthly sunshine duration in January 2011 was only 159.9 hours, a record low for this month. 2) On 5 September 2010, the daily high temperature was -1.1℃, a record high for the month of September. 3) Tropospheric temperatures during May and June over Syowa Station were lower than normal, and temperatures in the lower stratosphere during August-January were lower than normal. 4) Total ozone over Syowa Station was <220 m atm-cm between the mid September and the beginning December. The minimum value in 2010 was 145 m atm-cm. The maximum area of the ozone hole was the third smallest since 1990, and the maximum ozone deficit was the fourth smallest since 1990.
