Summary
The Natal (Brazil) Observatory 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.
