Ozone content over the Russian Federation in the first quarter of 2015

Abstract

The review is compiled from the data ofthe system that monitors the total ozone (TO) in the CIS and Baltic countries and functions in the operational regime at the Central Aerological Observatory (CAO). The monitoring system uses the data from the national network of M-124 filter ozonometers operating under the methodological supervision ofthe Main Geophysical Observatory. The quality ofthe entire system functioning is under the operational control based on the observations obtained from the OMI satellite equipment (NASA, the United States). The basic TO observational data are generalized for each month of the first quarter of 2015 and for the quarter as a whole. The data of regular observations over surface ozone content carried out in the Moscow region and Crimea are presented as well.
