Summary
Abstract: The American Samoa Observatory, operated by NOAA CMDL measures ozone
data using balloon-borne ozonesondes as part of the NASA Southern
Hemisphere ADditional OZonesondes (SHADOZ) project. The SHADOZ project
is collecting ozone data for validation, processing, and modeling of
satellite-derived Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) data.
