Abstract
We studied variations of the vertical profiles of the carbon monoxide concentration and the total concentration of nitrogen oxides in Moscow according to the data of Ostankino TV Tower measurements during the winter. The statistical relations between the variations of the concentrations of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides at different altitudes are analyzed. Differences in the diurnal behaviors of concentrations of gaseous admixtures in the lower and upper parts of the atmospheric boundary layer are revealed.
