[Oxford retrievals] of recent
MIPAS measurements are showing
some unusual behaviour in the 80-90S (red lines on plots)
region up to early September in the 100-10mb
region (comparing column amounts above 100mb with those from 10mb surface,
which generally look normal)
- A [WMO
Press Release] says that the [O3 hole] was smaller than usual
this year, and
[temperatures] warmer, although neither is evident from the
Oxford MIPAS retrievals
- Data for end of September shows values returning to "normal"
- Next: run MIPAS retrievals for all available days in
previous Septembers for better inter-annual comparison
