Meridional distribution of ozone in the troposphere and its seasonal variations
Abstract
Data from 5 years of continuous surface ozone measurements made at 16 European and African stations, located on a meridional chain between 69.5°N and 34°S, are presented. The analysis of monthly averages exhibits an annual sinusoidal variation with mean, amplitude, and phase characteristic for each latitude. Thirty-four meridional cross-sections of ozone in the high troposphere were measured aboard commercial jetliners. Both ground-based and aircraft measurements indicate enhanced stratospheric-tropospheric ozone injection at about 30°, 45°, and 65°N. The average ozone injection fluxes vary between 3×1010 mol/cm2 s at the equator and 10×1010 mol/cm2 s at the main injection latitude.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
