abstract = {Total column and stratospheric ozone levels at
mid-latitudes often reveal strong fluctuations on time
scales of days caused by dynamic processes. In some cases
the total ozone column is distinctly reduced below
climatological values. Here, a very low total ozone episode
around 19 January 2006 over Western Europe is investigated
when the observed total ozone column over Uccle (BE),
measured by a Brewer spectrophotometer, reached a daily
minimum of 200 DU, the lowest recorded value at this
station. In order to investigate the mechanisms leading to
the ozone minimum, the present study used data from (i) six
ozone sounding stations in Western and Middle Europe, (ii)
ECMWF meteorological fields, (iii) a simulation of the CLaMS
model for January 2006, (iv) a multi-year run of the
chemistry transport model KASIMA, and (v) a six-year run of
the climate chemistry model ECHAM5/MESSy1. The ozone
decrease at different heights was quantified and it was
determined to what extent different transport mechanisms,
and instantaneous, in-situ chemical ozone depletion
contributed to the event. All three models reproduced the
evolution and formation of the event. The ozone column
decrease between Theta=300 and 750K was strongest at Uccle
(BE) and De Bilt (NL) with 108 and 103 DU, respectively, and
somewhat lower at Hohenpeissenberg (DE), Payerne (CH),
Prague (CZ) and Lerwick (UK) with 85, 84, 83 and 74 DU,
respectively. This analysis demonstrated that mainly the
displacement of the ozone depleted polar vortex contributed
to the ozone column decrease. Advection of ozone-poor
low-latitude air masses was important in the UTLS region.
The vertical displacement of isentropes connected with
divergence of air out of the column was found to be of minor
importance compared to the horizontal transport processes.
Severe low total ozone episodes seem to occur when the
mentioned mechanisms are superimposed. Instantaneous,
in-situ chemical ozone depletion accounted for only
$2+/-1\%$ of the overall total ozone decrease at the
sounding stations.},
