Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation. Annual report 2012.

Abstract

This is an annual report describing the activities and main results of the monitoring programme "Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation" for 2012. In 2012 the ozone values above Norway were close to the long-term mean, except from the ozone winter values in Oslo which were lower than normal. A clear decrease in the ozone layer above Norway during the period 1979-1997 stopped after 1998 and the ozone layer above Norway now seems to have stabilized.
