A special ozone observation at Syowa Station, Antarctica from February 1982 to January 1983

Description
Summary:The behavior of stratospheric ozone at high latitudes is especially interesting, since the stratospheric ozone at high latitudes is thought to be transported from low latitudes through dynamical processes. However, only limited information has so far been obtained, because ozone observations at high latitudes are sparse. There are only two ozone observation stations operating in Antarctica: Syowa Station and Amundsen-Scott, where the total ozone has been observed in sunlit months only. To make up for this deficiency, extensive observations were carried out at Syowa Station as part of MAP. Some preliminary results of these observations are described.
