Abstract
In January, February, and April 2011, observations over Tomsk recorded anomalous decreases in the total contents of nitrogen dioxide and ozone. The total nitrogen dioxide and ozone contents decreased by ~30% relative to multiyear averages. The observed decreases in the total nitrogen dioxide and ozone contents over Tomsk are associated with ozone destruction in the polar stratosphere due to low temperatures at altitudes of 15-30 km and transport of Arctic air masses to midlatitudes.
