Abstract:

The relationship between snow cover and surface ozone concentration is studied on the basis of measurements near Tomsk in 1990–2017. Four types of the seasonal ozone variations are revealed: (1) concentration growth which ends with a spring maximum (53.9% of cases); (2) slow growth and a surge in the concentration after the snow cover melting (19.2%); (3) neutral behavior during the snow cover period and a sharp surge in the concentration after the snow cover melting (15.4%); and (4) neutral behavior without spring maximum (11.5%). Thus, at the end of the snow cover period, the spring maximum of ozone concentration is observed in 88.5% of cases. Differences in the seasonal variations in different years are explained by the temperature dependence of photochemical ozone generation in the atmosphere.
