This paper presents a summary of ozone measurements made above Hohenpeissenberg (48[degrees]N) during the winter of 1991-1992. The column measurements were down by roughly 10 percent, while densities in the lower stratosphere were down by 25 percent. Possible causes of these decreases, including increased freon concentrations, or the presence of meteorological disturbances over the area have been eliminated as possible causes. The presence of aerosol layers from the Mt. Pinatubo eruptions are a possible explanation for these observations.
