A study of the planetary wave transport of ozone during the late February 1979 stratospheric warming using the SAGE ozone observation and meteorological information.

Abstract

Ozone data from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) have been used in conjunction with meteorological information to study the ozone transport near 55oN due to planetary waves during the late February 1979 stratospheric warming. The results indicate an intense poleward eddy ozone transport in the middle stratosphere between c24 and 38 km altitudes and an equatorward transport above an altitude of c38 km. -from Authors
