Fluctuations of the surface ozone field in Belarus resulted from meteorological conditions and anthropogenic air pollution
Abstract
The results of comparison between the concentrations of surface ozone, measured in all regional cities of Belarus in different years, and those calculated within the concept of surface ozone field homogeneity over the territory of Belarus, are presented. Based on the experimental data, the climatic normal of surface ozone in clear atmosphere and the dependence of ozone on meteorological conditions and anthropogenic pollution were used. The results of the comparison are in a good agreement. The cases of inconsistency between the computation and experimental results as well as the weak points of the technique and some ways of their correction are discussed. Among the important unsolved problems there is the absence of international certification for the measuring equipment involved in the process of data collection and, therefore, for the obtained results, which, undoubtedly,
affects the quality of the calculation procedure, based on the scope of measurement data. Yet, this does not hamper improving and adjusting the technique for observation data processing and analysis. Both directions – enhancing the network of observations and advancing methods for data analysis – ought to be developed concurrently so that with enhancing the network, improving the quality of measurements and extending the list of monitored pollutants one would only have to enlarge initial database and use elaborated processing techniques.
