Fig. 2 (left column) Monthly fractional deviations (points) of the 35°–60°N mean ozone for spring (MAM) during the 1979–2012 period. (top panel) ozone content in the troposphere and lower stratosphere; (middle panel) ozone content in the upper stratosphere; (bottom panel) total ozone. The solid and dotted curves show the smoothed (by locally weighted regression – LOWES) pattern of the modelled and original data, respectively. (right column) modelled versus observed monthly fractional deviations of the profile and total ozone corresponding to the panels in the left column.

Fig. 3 The solid curves show the smoothed differences between the observed and modelled fractional deviations of total ozone in (top panels) the troposphere and lower stratosphere, (middle panels) the upper stratosphere, and (bottom panels) the entire atmosphere during the 1979–2012 period for the 35°N–60°N zonal belt in winter (left column) and spring (right column). The dotted curves show the 95% confidence interval for these differences.
