Surface Ozone Concentration over Russian Territory in the First Half of 2020

Information on the ozone concentration in the surface air and troposphere in the first half of 2020 is presented. The data were acquired at 13 stations in different Russian regions; vertical distributions were obtained with the use of an aircraft laboratory. The excess over the Russian Federation hygienic standards is assessed; the daily average ozone concentration is found to be regularly higher the maximum permissible concentrations at most stations. At some stations, there are features the seasonal variations in the ozone concentration in the period under study different from previous years.
