Abstract
Zonal asymmetry of total ozone content (TOC) in the Antarctic region is analysed using the TOMS measurements in 1979–2004. The TOC longitudinal distribution at the individual latitude circles in the latitude band 55–75° S with the 5° step is considered. From the positions of the zonal wave extremes it is revealed that the TOC zonal minimum is displaced eastward in the longitudinal sector 60° W–0° E with total shift of about 50°. The zonal maximum position is rather stable in the quadrant 90° E–180° E. Evidence is obtained that averaged geographical location of the extremes at the five latitude circles reproduces the Antarctic continent boundary in the corresponding longitudinal sectors.
