Abstract
We present the results of simultaneous ozonospheric millimeter-wave observations performed from the Earth’s surface at the middle and high latitudes of the Northern hemisphere in cold seasons of 2002–2005. The observed spatial and temporal variations in the ozone content are described. The features of the vertical ozone distribution inside and outside the polar stratospheric vortex are considered. It is concluded that radiophysical methods are efficient for studying the evolution of the ozonospheric especially under the polar-night conditions.
