Description:

Abstract:: The Nimbus-7 spacecraft was launched on October 24, 1978 with a TOMS Flight Model 1 and began the longest series of ozone measurements from space. The Nimbus-7 data consists of ozone data in Dobson Units, reflectivity, erythermal ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and aerosol index. Meteor-3, EP-TOMS, and ADEOS TOMS data are also available. All data is available from: http://ozoneaq.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Purpose:: Not Available
Supplemental_Information:: REFERENCE: R.D. McPeters and G.J. Labow 1996 An assessment of the accuracy of 14.5 years of Nimbus 7 TOMS version 7 ozone data by comparison with the Dobson network Geophys. Res. Lett. 3695-3698
Supplemental_Information:: REFERENCE: R.D. McPeters, S.M Hollandsworth, L.E. Flynn, and J.R. Herman 1996 Long-term trends derived from the 16-year combined Nimbus 7/Meteor 3 TOMS version 7 record Geophys. Res. Lett. 23 3699-3702
