Atmospheric ozone and the movement of the air in the stratosphere

Using over 2200 ozonesonde ascents, published byHering andBorden 1]–5] and byDütsch et al. 6], 7], the average vertical distribution of the ozone mixing ratio is found for different latitudes and for different seasons up to a height of 30 km. The method by which the ozone formed at great heights in low latitudes becomes concentrated in the lower stratosphere of high latitudes is discussed, and the meridional circulation theory is strongly suggested.Oxford, May 1972.
