Sunshine activity and total column ozone variation in Lagos, Nigeria
Total column ozone data obtained from Earth Probe TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer) Version. 8 were analyzed for Lagos, Nigeria, a northern tropical station (06.6° N, 03.33° E). It was found that total column ozone thickness has been decreasing at an average rate of about 0.32 DU per yea...

Total column ozone data obtained from Earth Probe TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping
Spectrometer) Version. 8 were analyzed for Lagos, Nigeria, a northern tropical station
(06.6° N, 03.33° E). It was found that total column ozone thickness has been decreasing at an
average rate of about 0.32 DU per year over a nine year period (1997-2005). For the nine
years, the minimal annual ozone values were found in the years 2003 and 2005 with a mean
value of about 265 DU. Linear regression analysis gives a significant negative correlation between total column ozone and sunshine hours.
