Abstract

Various approaches to the analysis of 10-year continuous ozone mo-nitoring from the EUROTRAC-TOR network station Puntijarka near Zagreb are reported. The site has a rural character (45.90° N; 15.97° E, 980 m a.s.l.) and is representative of the lower troposphere of a wider region. Mean hourly ozone volume fractions measured from 1990-1999, autocorrelation plots for ali data and for data for summer periods (May-Sep.), box and whiskers representations of diurnal variations during winter (Nov.-March) and summer periods, mean monthly values and 12-month moving averages, and the Fourier transform of the complete set of 94,248 hourly mean ozone volume fractions are discussed. The data show no increase, or possibly a slight decrease, of the ozone volume fraction toward the end of the decade.
