Influence of the stratosphere temperature on ozonosphere optical characteristics and instrumental problems of total ozone content remote measurements

Abstract

In this paper we investigate stratosphere temperature impact on remote ozone satellite and ground-based optical observations. High correlation between stratospheric temperature and instrumentally determined total ozone content requires taking into account temperature dependency of ozone absorption and scattering indexes and of other atmosphere characteristics for inverse ozone observations problem solution. The assumption that the majority of observed ozone anomalies and trends are caused by atmosphere temperature change is made.
