Two-year (1996/1997) ozone DIAL measurement over Dumont d’Urville (Antarctica).
Two years of ozone measurements (1996, 1997), sorted according to the analysed potential vorticity over Dumont d’Urville (66 °S), are presented. Subsidence in the vortex was observed by tracing the descent of the ozone maximum. Chemical depletion was also observed. In springtime, the ozone mixing ra...

Two years of ozone measurements (1996, 1997), sorted according to the analysed potential vorticity over Dumont d’Urville (66 °S), are presented.
