Abstract
Total ozone observations have been collected since 1992 by means of Brewer spectrophotometry at Rome (41.9°N, 12.5°E, 60 m a.s.l.) and Ispra (45.8°N, 8.63°E, 240 m a.s.l.). A filtering technique is applied to the Dobson ozone long time series of Vigna di Valle (42.08°N, 12.22°E, 262 m a.s.l.), Arosa (46.78°N, 9.68°E, 1840 m a.s.l.) and Lerwick (60.13°N, 1.18°W, 80 m a.s.l.) and to the Italian Brewer ozone data, in order to investigate on different time scales [1]. The aim of this analysis is to single out any effective ozone trend, together with the role of ozone fluctuations due to weather patterns, at the selected Northern Hemisphere middle latitudes sites.
