Data source

The data for this month are from the NASA Earth Probe TOMS satellite.

Missing areas (bad orbits and polar night) are filled using assimilated ozone data from the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) assimilation, produced by the Goddard Earth Observing System Data Assimilation System (GEOS DAS). MERRA uses a version of the GEOS model with the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) atmospheric analysis developed jointly with NOAA/NCEP/EMC.
