Measurements of the amount of ozone in the Earth’s atmosphere arid its relation to other geophysical conditions.— part II

Abstract

In a previous paper we have described in detail the method of measuring the total quantity of ozone in the earth’s atmosphere above any locality. Results of measurements made on about 200 days at Oxford in 1925 were also discussed, and it was shown that there was a marked connection between the amount of ozone and the general type of atmospheric pressure distribution, the amount being larger in cyclonic, and smaller in anticyclonic, conditions. As there is evidence that the ozone is entirely in the upper atmosphere, it was obviously desirable to investigate this connection further, and to see if it would throw any light on these meteorological phenomena.
