Abstract
The features of interannual variations of ozone in the middle stratosphere over Moscow in cold half-years since 1995 to 2015 are considered. These features are most pronounced in two separated groups of winters (six winters in each group) in December–January. It appeared that the seasonal variation of ozone averaged within each group is characterized by a higher ozone concentration \({C_{{O_3}}}\) in group I (in comparison with group II) in December and lower values in January. The differences in the seasonal variation of ozone between these groups at the level of 10 mbar in December and January exceed 2 ppm. A feature of the stratosphere circulation for half-year group I is the existence of a stable polar vortex and the absence of strong midwinter perturbations and sudden stratospheric warmings. On the contrary, for cold half-years of group II, the appearance of strong stratospheric warmings in January–February is in common. The results presented provide a quantitative estimate of the effect of these stratospheric warmings on ozone of the middle stratosphere overMoscow.
