The ozone and aerological sounding data during 1980-1986 in Beijing area are used to discuss the abrupt variations of the total ozone and its relationship with the changes of the upper air temperature.The results are: 1. All processes of the abrupt variations of the total ozone in Beijing area take place in springs and winters. 2. With the sudden increase of the total ozone, there is temperature decrease in the troposphere but an increase in the stratosphere. 3. The levels where the variations of the air temperature and the total ozone show their best negative or positive correlation are 500hPa and 70hPa, and their correlation coefficients are -0.85 and 0.63 respectively.
