Atmospheric ozone

The book contains papers given during the All-Union Atmospheric Ozone Conference (Suzdal', October 1988). Papers are presented on the instruments and methodology for measuring atmospheric ozone; results of measurements of ozone, other atmospheric gases, and aerosol; measurements of ozone and of trace gases in the Antarctic; the chemistry and the radiation regime in the ozonosphere; and modeling the ozonosphere. Particular attention is given to reactions between ozone and heterogeneous components of the atmosphere and to changes in tropospheric ozone. It is shown that periods of seismic activity (in particular, earthquakes with values of M not less than 3.5) coincide with short-term (1-2-days long) increases in the atmospheric ozone content.
