Abstract

Some results of the statistical analysis of the data observation about surface ozone concentration (SOC) in Ruispiri (East Georgia) during the period with 2006 for 2009 are presented.   In total 1220 days of continuous measurements of SOC from 9 till 23 o'clock are analysed (18300 hourly values of SOC). In particular, the annual variation of monthly average values of SOC is studied, distribution functions of hourly values of SOC for three periods of time (year, warm and cold half-year) are received. Daily variation of SOC, and also mean hourly speeds of its change for the specified periods of time is studied. Correlation of hourly values of SOC with each other, and also with mean values of SOC(9-17) and SOC(9-23) are considered. It is shown, that in daily variation of SOC there is a presence autocorrelation both for mean annual values of SOC, and for mean SOC in warm and cold half-year. Correlation and linear regression connection between SOC(9-17) and SOC(15) are steady enough in time and, in particular, can be used for estimations daily mean  values of SOC at rare hourly measurements. The weekly variation of SOC is studied. It is received, that in cold half-year SOC in the weekends is more, than in the week-days. By data for a year and warm half-year this effect it is not observed.
