Summary
The San Cristobal, Galapagos 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.
