Abstract:
A detailed analysis of the variations of the stratospheric and mesospheric ozone over Bulgaria, for the period 1997-2018, is presented in the article on the basis of ground and satellite measurements of the Total Ozone Content (TOC). The existing long-term trends of the move of the basic components of the seasonal course have been studied. In conclusion, it can be argued that the ozone layer over Bulgaria fully retains its protective functions.
Keywords:
total ozone content, seasonal course, long-term trends.
