abstract = {In this thesis, the chemical ozone loss in the Arctic
stratosphere was investigated for twelve years between
1991-92 and 2002-03. The accumulated local ozone loss and
the column ozone loss were consistently derived using the
ozone-tracer correlation (TRAC) technique. This technique
considers the relation between ozone and a long-lived tracer
during the lifetime of the polar vortex. Results are
presented on the basis of observations obtained from two
solar occultation satellite instruments: ILAS (Improved Limb
Atmospheric Spectrometer) aboard the ADEOS satellite
(Advanced Earth Observing Satellite) and HALDE (Halogen
Occultation Experiment) aboard the UARS satellite (Upper
Atmosphere Research Satellite). The HALDE observations used
in the present work have been available since October 1991.
The instrument made measurements during a period of a few
days every two or three months in high northern latitudes
during the entire period between 1991 and 2003. The ILAS
instrument performed mear surements continuously from
November 1996 to June 1997 in the high latitude region of
both hemispheres. In the present work, the TRAC method was
confirmed against criticism raised in the past. The improved
and extended method permits both a reduction and a better
quantification of uncertainties. New procedures implemented
in the method allow the ozone loss for the winter to be
calculated, in case where no results could have been derived
in the past. Therefore, a consistent analysis is possible
for the twelve winters. An intensive analysis of chemical
ozone loss is performed considering as an example the winter
1996-97, for which measurements from both HALDE and ILAS are
available. The ILAS observations allow a detailed analysis
of the temporal evolution of the ozone-tracer correlation
inside the polar vortex for the first time and in particular
of the development of the early vortex. Especially the
influence of mixing between vortex air and air from outside
the vortex is discussed. The evolution of significant
PSC-related chemical ozone loss can be followed over the
entire lifetime of the vortex, from mid-February to May 1997
from ILAS observations. HALDE measurements are available
between March and May 1997. Partly large differenced between
the two data sets are analysed. Both data sets consistently
show a distinct inhomogeneity in the derived ozone loss
inside the vortex in spring 1997, which is a specific
feature in comparison to the other observed winters between
1991-92 and 2002-03. During these twelve winters the ozone
loss was consistently derived mainly on the basis of HALDE
observations. With the use of the ozone-tracer [...]},
