Abstract

Presented are the results of studying the ozone layer over Nizhni Novgorod and Central Asia using the ground-based millimeter wavelength range equipment. Carried out is the comparison of results of ground-based measurements with the EOS Aura MLS data. The difference in the ozone layer structure at stratospheric heights is revealed during the joint measurements at the mentioned points in November 2010. The analysis demonstrates that this difference is caused by the influence of the polar stratospheric vortex. Proceeding from the experience of similar researches, the conclusion is made on the necessity of organizing the permanent domestic network of the ground-based microwave monitoring of the ozone layer.
