Ozone vertical profile characteristics over qinghai plateau measured by electrochemical concentration cell ozonesondes

An analysis of 50 ozonesondings in Xining (36.43°N, 101.45°E, 2296 m, ASL), between April 1995 and August 1996 is presented. General vertical distribution characteristics and seasonal changing of ozone profile are reported. The analysis indicates that the stratospheric ozone concentrations of Autumn...

Description
Summary:An analysis of 50 ozonesondings in Xining (36.43°N, 101.45°E, 2296 m, ASL), between April 1995 and August 1996 is presented. General vertical distribution characteristics and seasonal changing of ozone profile are reported. The analysis indicates that the stratospheric ozone concentrations of Autumn and Summer are lower than those of Spring and Winter; and the highest value of the tropospheric ozone concentrations is found in Summer; ozone concentration changing is bigger from the troposphere to the lower stratosphere altitude region, while it is stable in the middle and upper stratosphere region; there is a lower ozone concentration region in 10-15 km altitude; the result why higher ozone concentration of the troposphere occurs in Summer is the ozone injecting from the middle and upper stratosphere.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
