Meteor-3/TOMS observations of the 1994 ozone hole ...
The development of the 1994 springtime (September–November) Antarctic ozone hole was observed by the Meteor-3/TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer) to result in a very low minimum ozone value, 90±5 DU (Dobson Units) on September 28, 1994. During late September and early October, the region of extr...
