Total Ozone Stations Singapore Darwin
Vertical profile of the correlation between SOI and ozone concentration in Singapore over 1996-1999 (from Yonemura et al. 2002).
Conclusion • ENSO plays an important role in tropical ozone variation. It affects ozone amount by changing the convection and moisture transport into upper level. • Ozone amount is also greatly affected by solar activity, QBO etc. They combined to decide the total ozone amount.
