Variability of polar stratospheric ozone of the southern hemisphere based on satellite data (apparatus TOMS, OMI)

Spatiotemporal features of Spring Ozone Anomaly in Antarctica (ozone hole) are considered. On the basis of satellite ozone data and with the help of correlation-extreme algorithm the zonal velocities of ozone in the southern polar stratosphere are calculated. Results of calculations of the ozone hole area for the region where the total ozone was less than 220 Dobson units, and of the mass deficit of ozone in the stratosphere over Antarctica are presented. Close link of ozone mass deficit in the ozone hole with the zonal velocity of the region accumulation the total ozone in the circumpolar vortex for 1996 to 2009 is revealed in this article.
