Defense metorological satellite measurements of total ozone
Journal Article

· Geophys. Res. Lett.; (United States)
A multichannel filter radiometer (MFR) on Defence Meteorological Satellites (DMS) that measured total ozone on a global-scale from March 1977--February 1980 is described. The total ozone data measured by the MFR were compared with total ozone data taken by surfaced-based Dobson spectrophotometers. When comparisons were made for five months, the Dobson spectrophotometer measured 2--5% more total ozone than the MFR. Comparisons between the Dobson spectrophotometer and the MFR showed a reduced RMS difference as the comparisons were made at closer proximity. A Northern Hemisphere total ozone distribution obtained from MFR data is presented.
