Abstract
A vertical ozone sounding program has been established at the Observatoire de Haute Provence (OHP) using balloon-borne ozone sondes (since 1984) and a UV lidar instrument (since 1990). Two field intercomparison campaigns have been organised at this site to identify the measurement quality of the different instruments. The data analysis includes: a comparative study of the seasonal variations obtained in the free troposphere at the different sites in Europe, an ozone climatology in relation to dynamic parameters (potential vorticity, trajectories). The impact of stratosphere/troposphere processes was more specifically addressed through both the analysis of experimental case studies during specific meteorological events (tropopause fold, cut-off low), and the statistical analysis of the occurrence of these events using the ozone data set.
