Abstract
The climatological characteristics of ozone based on Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) and Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) data, during 1979–2008 over central Anatolia, Ankara (32°E, 39°N) is analyzed. The location is highly effected by a number of atmospheric perturbing events such as strong jet winds. Main characteristics of the annual and interannual variability of total ozone over Turkey are presented. The maximum decreasing winter-spring decadal trend was found to be 0.16%. Furthermore seasonal variation of ozone is examined by calculating the deviations from the mean. The variations in low ozone days are 23.7%, 26.6% and 30% for spring, winter and summer, respectively.
