.The creation of a model of profiles distribution of stratospherics ozone associated with the events of ozone depletion in middle latitudes in South America, applied in the years 1993-1994, obtaining a high correlation between the profiles of the model and the data obtained in situ of the ground stations and they given by satellite.

In the study of this recent phenomenon of the dilution of stratospherics ozone in middle latitudes in the South America, alone in this last decade could have been measured in situ with instrumental adapted in ground stations, observing a high correlation between the amounts of total measured ozone for the terrestrial stations and the done mensurations with instrumental in satellite (TOMS). This fact is of great importance for the study of the phenomenon of dilution of ozone in middle latitudes, because one could know the events of dilution of ozone in periods when stations didn't exist that they register it in ground.

Upon applying the model to the information given by the project of NCEP/ NCAR Reanalysis for the years 1993-1994 and contrasting with the existent registrations in ground, a high correlation between the events of dilution of ozone in middle latitudes registered in South America and the modeling
