The behaviour of the ozone layer above tropical southern Africa.

Abstract

Recently released TOMS (total ozone mapping spectrometer) data from NASA's Nimbus 7 satellite have been accessed for the 14-year period between 1979 and 1992. Locations in the Southern African tropics between latitudes 18o and 23o south have been studied. Temporal and location-related variations in total column ozone are shown to be of major importance when compared with any long-term declines.
