Abstract

Ozone observations from the AROTEL and DIAL lidars on board the NASA DC-8 aircraft, the NOAA in situ instrument on board the NASA ER-2 aircraft, and THESEO 2000 ozonesondes are analyzed using a quasi-conservative coordinate mapping technique. Measurements from the late-winter/early-spring SOLVE period (January through March 2000) are incorporated into a time-varying composite field in a potential vorticity-potential temperature coordinate space; ozone loss rates are calculated with and without diabatic effects. The average loss rate from mid-January to mid-March near the 450 K isentropic surface in the polar vortex is found to be approximately 0.03 ppmv/day.
