Data sets

SCIAMACHY Geo-located atmospheric spectra (SCI_NL__1P) ESA https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/data-access/browse-data-products/-/article/sciamachy-localized-atmospheric-spectra-in-the-uvvisnear-ir-wavelength-range-1549

Short summary

The depletion of the Antarctic ozone layer and its changing vertical distribution have been monitored closely by satellites in the past decades ever since the Antarctic ozone hole was discovered in the 1980s. We study and assess the quality of the ozone profiles using SCIAMACHY ultraviolet data and compare them against the ozone sondes.
