Cartoon of constituents important in ozone chemistry

UARS_const_chemistry

Cartoon of constituents important in ozone chemistry - those measured by UARS are given in red. Adapted from Figure 1 of Russell et al., JGR, 98, 10777-10797, 1993. 

Time series of westerly winds over the equator

UKMO_qbo_sao_

Time series of westerly winds over the equator from the UK Met Office correlative analyses, for the period November 1991 through February
1996. The plot shows a clear quasi-biennial oscillation in the stratospheric winds and a semi-annual oscillation near the stratopause.
