Abstract

The SBUV2 (Solar Back Scatter Ultraviolet) spectrometer on NOAA-9 has been providing global measurements of ozone in the stratosphere on a continuous basis since March 14, 1985. The SBUV2 ozone data set consisting of total ozone and ozone mixing ratio at a number of pressure levels from 30 to .3 mb, in conjunction with similar data sets obtained from the SBUV and TOMS spectrometers on NIMBUS-7 and the BUV spectrometer on NIMBUS-4, comprise one of the most comprehensive data sets on stratospheric ozone extending over two decades. These data sets are valuable resource for monitoring long term changes in the stratosphere and studying the natural and man made perturbations on time scales varying from a solar rotation to a solar cycle.
