First results from the Nimbus 7 total ozone mapping spectrometerThe Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instrument was launched on the Nimbus 7 satellite in October 1978. This instrument is designed to measure spatial variations in the total ozone field. The employed technique is an extension of the Backscattered Ultraviolet (BUV) total ozone method. The TOMS instrument has an improved capability for detailed monitoring of total ozone. The obtained data appear to contain information about dynamical processes in the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere. Investigations are being conducted to determine qualitatively the conditions, if any, where total ozone fails as a predictor for tropopause height. Quantitative relations between the dynamic parameters and total ozone are also being studied.
