Spatial and temporal distribution of total ozone over China

In this paper the grid data of total ozone mapping spectrograph (TOMS) installed on Nimbus 7 satellite (1978 to 1994) was used and the spatial and temporal distribution of total ozone over China was analyzed. The research indicates that the Qinghai Tibet Plateau destroyed the latitudinal distribution of total ozone of China and the low value closed center emerged over Qinghai Tibet Plateau. Long time change trends of seasonal total ozone of Qinghai Tibet Plateau are provided. It shows that the most obvious decrease of total ozone occurs in winter (Jan.), then in summer (Jul.), the relevant slow change occurs in autumn (Oct.) and spring (Apr.).
