Abstract
We present the results of simultaneous measurements of variations in the ozone layer in the north-western Arctic conducted with the help of different instruments. It is shown that, in the winter of 2003–2004, when the stratosphere was relatively warm and the wave activity was high, spatial inhomogeneities in the field of ozone distribution were observed. For April 2004, we detect a decrease in the ozone content in the range of heights between 25 and 40 km. This decrease was recorded simultaneously by the HALOE, SAGE, and POAM satellite instruments.
