Summary

Abstract: Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SSBUV) is flown on number of shuttle
missions. SSBUV, a successor to the SBUV flown on the Nimbus-7 satellite, is
nearly identical to the SBUV/2 instruments flying on the NOAA satellites.

Ozone profiles in the upper atmosphere as well as the total column ozone ...
