Abstract
We present preliminary results of 14 months of ozone observations carried out on a small island in the Baltic Sea. Gross statistics from the data indicate a typical maritime environment with small diurnal amplitude and high average concentrations. Comparison with a few months’ observations at a site in Central Finland confirms the importance of different loss mechanisms at the surface. Enhanced ozone concentrations produced by either long-range transport, photochemical processes or stratospheric intrusion were identified.
