Long Path Different Optical Absorption measurements of the concentrati
ons of O-3, NO2, NO3 and SO2 were carried out at Cape Arkona, Island R
ugen, near the well-known long-term ozone registration. A statistical
analysis of different trace gas concentrations for all seasons is pres
ented. Daytime data, wind speed and sector-classified results are used
to estimate representative ozone concentrations. Comparison of the lo
ng path ozone measurements with point measurements at Cape Arkona show
s ozone concentration differences.
