Scientific paper

Simultaneous measurements of surface level ozone (O3) and meteorological parameters were made over the Bay of Bengal (BOB) during a cruise between 14 September and 12 October 2002. Variations in surface O3, equivalent potential temperature ($\theta$E) and associated meteorological parameters clearly show evidence of convective downdrafts during 18-19 September and 25-26 September. Sharp increase in O3 mixing ratio is coupled with decrease in $\theta$E value in the detrained air. The vertical wind velocity and satellite images also indicate significant convective activities during these periods. The maximum changes in O3 and $\theta$E were 26 ppbv and 12 K, respectively. These events comprise of both short and long time scale downdrafts.
