Ozone content over the Russian federation in the third quarter of 2010

The review is compiled based on the results of the operation of the total ozone (TO) monitoring system in the CIS and Baltic countries, functioning in the operational regime at the Central Aerological Observatory (CAO). The monitoring system uses the data from the national network of M-124 filter ozonometers under supervision of the Main Geophysical Observatory (MGO); the proper operation of the entire system is under an operational control from observations with the OMI satellite (US NASA) equipment. Basic TO observations data for each month of the third quarter of 2010 and for the quarter as a whole are generalized. Basic results of regular observations of the surface ozone content in Moscow and in other regions of Russia and the Ukraine characterizing to a great extent the surface air quality in these regions are under consideration.
