Fluctuations of total ozone and their relationship to stratospheric air motionsThe origin of fluctuations of total ozone and the interactions that take place between the distribution of total ozone and the circulation of the troposphere are investigated on the basis of observations of total ozone from Nimbus 7 TOMS together with contemporaneous analyses of the circulation. It is shown that a sizable component of total ozone variability is explained by the quasi-columnar motion of air in the lower stratosphere. The development also suggests that in combination with isentropic analyses, total ozone measurements can provide a detailed picture of air motions in the lower stratosphere. Distributions of ozone column abundance and pressure on the 375-K isentropic surface for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are illustrated.
