Abstract
In this study, measurements of the vertical and temporal variations in ozon e concentrations over the mountainous area during three observation periods in July 1997 and August 1998. The data used in this study were obtained fr om a differential measurement technique called Differential Absorption Lida r (DIAL) and from the ground-based stations at different altitudes. Many oz one profiles exhibited distinct local maxima up to 100 ppb and a large vari ation in mixing ratios existing in the height range between 1150-1650 m a.s .l. Ozone levels have more than doubled at about 1340 m a.s.l. as compared to higher altitudes. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
