Climatology of ozone in the troposphere and lower stratosphere over the European Arctic
A brief climatology of ozone using more than 8 years of ozonesonde data in the troposphere and lower stratosphere at two northern high latitude stations, Sodankyla and Ny-Ålesund, is presented. The climatology of ozone clearly shows a significant seasonal cycle with the ozone maxima changing with he...

The monthly variability of ozone as well as its seasonal maximum is found near the tropopause. Variation in tropopause height is due mainly to the passage of tropospheric weather systems and is responsible for the large monthly variability of ozone near the tropopause.
