Surface ozone observations at Aspendale, Victoria, 1964-1970

Abstract

Five years of observations of the ozone concentration in the surface air at Aspendale, Victoria, are presented. On some occasions the concentrations of ozone (or oxidant) reach 0.1 ppm v v. Such high ozone concentrations are associated with high air temperatures and reduced intensity of ultra-violet radiation observed at the earth's surface. On such occasions it appears that there is local production of ozone near the earth's surface. © 1971.
