September 2004 at Lerwick

Inspection of the TOMS map for the 29th September showed a relatively large area of depletion (mini hole) near the east coast of Greenland and Iceland. Lerwick is at the edge of this feature. The upper level wind pattern indicated strong southerly flow (associated with an upper level depression to the west of Greenland) bringing ozone poor area into the region.
