May 2001

The Camborne station reported an ozone column of 300 DU. Inspection of the TOMS data showed that this event was part of a planetary event with low ozone values also over the US, the Bering Strait and the Pacific. The synoptic situation thus favoured transport of low latitude air that is poor in ozone. Over Camborne itself TOMS reported a somewhat higher ozone amount of 311 DU.
