Abstract

The paper discusses short term fluctuations, superimposed on the diurnal variation of surface ozone recorded at Poona during 1969.1970, in association with thunderstorms and the breakdown of temperature inversions near the ground.

While there is a net production of ozone during electrical discharges in a thundercloud, the surface ozone recorder at Poona often registered a decrease in surface ozone concentration. This decrease coincided with the Bay of Bengal updrafts generated during the formation and movement of a thunderstorm. Similar sharp increases in ozone were observed with downdrafts. In cases of lightning without the appearance of thunderstorm over the station, an increase in ozone density was observed immediately after the first lightning discharge.
