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...

description 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.
