Atmospheric Ozone in Northern Greenland

The concentration and daily variations in ozone concentration at ground level in Northern Greenland were measured. A correlation was found between sunlight and ozone concentration. This correlation, coupled with the knowledge of air-moss movements in the region, provides excellent evidence that the ozone being measured was formed continuously in the atmosphere and was not brought to the area by some transport mechanism. The results also indicate that ozone is a transient intermediate in the atmosphere and that it decomposes as fast as it forms.
