TOMS instruments, which provide global measurements of total column ozone on a
daily basis. TOMS turns the mapping job over to OMI Production of Earth Probe
TOMS real time data and products has been suspended effective January 1, 2006.
All TOMS data prior to 2006 will continue to be available, but OMI data should
be used in the future.
Aura
(Latin for breeze) was launched July 15, 2004. The design life is five years
with an operational goal of six years. Aura flies in formation about 15 minutes
behind Aqua. Aura is part of the Earth Observing System (EOS), a program
dedicated to monitoring the complex interactions that affect the globe using
NASA satellites and data systems. http://aura.gsfc.nasa.gov

Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), at Columbia
University in New York City, is a division
of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
Earth Sciences Directorate and a unit of the Columbia
University Earth Institute. Research at GISS emphasizes a broad study of

Services Center (ACDISC). The purpose of this on-line information center is to
enhance the support services we provide to our ozone research community. We've
provided a number of resources here to help you in your research.

The mission of the NOAA
Aeronomy Laboratory is: to discover and understand the chemical, dynamical and
radiative processes that are important in the Earth's atmosphere, to improve
NOAA's capability to predict its behavior.

Dr. Shindell's research
is concerned with global climate change, climate variability, and Atmospheric
Chemistry. He uses mathematical models of the atmosphere and oceans which
run on supercomputers to investigate chemical changes such as the depletion of
the ozone layer, climate changes such as global warming, and the connections
between these two.

Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United
Kingdom) and 10 Cooperating States (Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovenia and the Czech Republic).

The Earth
Negotiations Bulletin is a balanced, timely and independent reporting service
that provides daily information in print and electronic formats from
multilateral negotiations on environment and development. It is published by the
International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), a non-profit
organization based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.The Earth Negotiations Bulletin
began as the joint initiative of three individuals from the NGO community, who
were participating in the preparations for the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development. Johannah Bernstein, an environmental lawyer and
Director of the Canadian Participatory Committee for UNCED (CPCU), Pamela Chasek,
a doctoral student at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies,
and Langston James Goree VI "Kimo", a former UNDP programme officer
and NGO activist from the Western Amazon, created the Earth Summit Bulletin in
March 1992.

Ozone Layer that protects the earth from harmful radiation. This site provides
technical information related to the alternative technologies that have been
investigated and employed to make it possible to virtually eliminate use of the
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons that harm the ozone layer.

NSF Polar UV
Monitoring Network The National Science Foundation
(NSF) Ultraviolet (UV) Monitoring Network was established in 1987 by the NSF
Division of Polar Programs in response to serious ozone depletion reported in
Antarctica. Biospherical Instruments installed the first instruments in 1988 and
has operated the network since then. The network is providing data to
researchers studying the effects of ozone depletion on terrestrial and marine
biological systems. Network data is also used for the validation of satellite
observations and for the verification of models describing the transfer of
radiation through the atmosphere.

TEMIS aims to compute
and deliver global concentrations of tropospheric trace gases, and aerosol and
UV products derived from observations of nadir-viewing satellite instruments
such as GOME, SCIAMACHY and (A)ATSR. TEMIS is part of the Data User Programme
(DUP) of the European Space Agency (ESA).Within the TEMIS project, long-term
data sets will be generated for ozone, UV, aerosols and several of the trace
gases mentioned. Advanced retrieval techniques, chemistry transport modelling
and data assimilation techniques will be used to derive high-quality
tropospheric products based on the mesaurements of SCIAMACHY and GOME. These
data sets will be made freely available through a user-friendly interface.

COZUV (Coordinated Ozone and UV project) is a joint Norwegian project within
stratospheric ozone and UV research. It started in January 1999 and runs through
2002. The main objectives are to gain increased understanding of the processes
that lead to ozone loss in the Arctic and at middle latitudes and to understand
how changes in the ozone layer affects the amount of UV radiation that hits the
ground.
