OZONE CONTENT OVER THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2021

The review is compiled on the basis of the results of the operation of the total ozone (TO) monitoring over the CIS and Baltic countries functioning in the operational mode at the Central Aerological Observatory (CAO). The monitoring system uses data from the national network equipped with M-124 filter ozonometers that is under the methodological supervision of the Main Geophysical Observatory. The quality of the functioning of the entire system is operationally controlled at CAO by the comparison with the OMI satellite equipment observations (NASA, USA). Basic TO observation data are generalized for each month of the second quarter of 2021 and for the second quarter. Data of routine observations of surface ozone values in the Moscow region are also considered.

IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE GROWTH RATE OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES IN THE LENINGRAD REGION

Return levels of the major climatic stressors affecting the level of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases in the Leningrad region are evaluated. Based on data from 26 ob-serving stations located in 18 municipal units, a cluster analysis has been carried out allowing for classification of the territory according to the degree of influence of climatic conditions on the pathology of cardiovascular system. A projection of future changes in the selected climate indica-tors for the mid and end of the XXI century is conducted. The projection is based on the ensem-ble of climate change simulations using the Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory regional cli-mate model under the IPCC RCP8.5 scenario. It has been shown that the main future threats due to the changing climate are associated with an increase in mortality from cardiovascular diseases connected with the projected increase in the intensity of the heat waves. The relevancy to take into account climate warming when it comes to developing a strategy for combating cardiovascu-lar diseases in municipal units is emphasized.

Ozone Content over the Russian Federation in 2020

The review is based on the results of operation of the total ozone (TO) monitoring system in Russia and neighboring countries that functions in the operational mode at the Central Aerological Observatory. The monitoring system uses data from the national network equipped with M-124 filter ozonometers being under the methodological supervision of the Main Geophysical Observatory. The quality of the functioning of the entire system is operationally controlled using the OMI satellite equipment observations (NASA, USA). Basic TO observation data are generalized for each month of the fourth quarter of 2020, for the fourth quarter, and for the whole year. Data of routine observations of surface ozone in the Moscow region are also presented.
