Abstract
Variations and trends in the total ozone (TO) content over the period 1979–2014 are studied using monthly mean data from ERA-Interim reanalysis database in different latitudinal belts and TOMS/SBUV/OMI satellite data. We estimated how TO variations, averaged over different latitudinal belts and globally, are modulated by Arctic and Antarctic oscillations, quasi-biennial oscillations of zonal wind in the equatorial stratosphere, El Nino–Southern Oscillation, zonal average meridional heat flux in the lower stratosphere, solar activity (SA), stratospheric content of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), and volcanic aerosol particles. Variations in global TO can be described well using regression dependence on ODS and SA; and certain of the above-mentioned factors should be additionally taken into consideration for a more accurate quantitative description of TO time behavior in certain latitudinal belts.
