Abstract
The climatological distribution of tropospheric ozone derived from satellite observations has been updated using the reprocessed version 7 Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) gridded data. The use of version 7 of the archive has not changed any of the climatological features first identified using earlier archived versions of the TOMS data. In general, however, the absolute values of the amount of ozone in the troposphere are decreased by ∼5 Dobson units (DU). In areas of persistent marine stratus clouds, the climatological values are decreased by an additional 2–3 DU.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
