    Ozone in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere
    Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres (1981)
    Michael J. Prather
    A detailed photochemical model of the upper stratosphere and mesosphere is compared with three extensive sets of ozone observations: Atmospheric Explorer‐E backscattered ultraviolet experiment (BUV), Nimbus‐4 BUV, and rocket flights from Wallops Flight Center (ROCOZ). The Nimbus‐4 and rocket observations are most sensitive to ozone between 30 and 50 km, whereas observations from AE‐E measure the abundance of ozone up to 70 km. The photochemical model accurately reproduces the observed relationship between BUV intensity and local solar zenith angle, although the absolute calibration on AE‐E appears to be in error. The AE‐E observations and the model both exhibit a morning‐afternoon asymmetry, with more ozone in the morning owing to the build up of HO x species in the afternoon. Seasonal changes in atmospheric temperature produce an annual maximum in tropical mesospheric ozone during June‐July‐August. The amplitude of the observed effect is somewhat larger than calculated by the model. Some problems appear to remain with the presently accepted kinetic rates for HO x species in the atmosphere.

    Examples of synoptic changes in ozone and circulation in the stratosphere
    F. G. FingerA. MillerDavid HeathA. J. KruegerK. Labitzke
    The Backscatter Ultraviolet (BUV) experiment on board the Nimbus 4 polar orbiting satellite has been measuring the total ozone content and high-level atmospheric ozone profiles since early 1970. Synoptic type analyses of these data are now being accomplished and compared with appropriate constant-pressure analyses of stratospheric circulation. Ozone changes during a stratospheric warming of early 1971 are investigated by comparison with circulation changes in the layer between 30 mb (24 km) and 2 mb (42 km). A general increase in ozone concentrations, more pronounced in the higher latitudes, is noted during the warming period. Plans for future investigation are discussed, including analysis of ozone observations beginning from 1970 on every two-day basis for comparison with constant-pressure height, temperature, and wind charts analyzed with the aid of radiosonde, rocketsonde, and satellite data.
