Summary and Conclusions.<br />

Fachbereich 1<br />

�Multiple linear regression <strong>analysis</strong> provides a good near global picture of natural and<br />

anthropogenic contributions to inter-annual variations of <strong>total</strong> <strong>ozone</strong>.<br />

�For the different explanatory variables, <strong>ozone</strong> fluctuations range about 3-10 DU.<br />

�The recent increases (2010) in both hemispheres <strong>total</strong> <strong>ozone</strong> are mainly related to<br />

increases in eddy heat flux (or reduced polar <strong>ozone</strong> loss after a series of cold Arctic<br />

winters in the mid-nineties ).<br />

�For the 2011 decrease, we had the opposite, QBO west phase, little wave activity<br />

and strong chemical <strong>ozone</strong> loss.<br />

� SBUV/TOMS/OMI/GSG shows about the same significance in the overall fitting as<br />

SBUV/TOMS/OMI.<br />

�The fingerprint of recovery is less clear due to the large influence from<br />

atmospheric dynamics.
