Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) Launched in 1978 on board NASA's Nimbus-7 satellite, this instrument measured total column ozone in the atmosphere on a global scale for over 14 continuous years through 1993 TOMS data has been used to derive trends in total column ozone that showed decreases at all latitudes outside the tropical belt, in addition to providing data that showed the development of the ozone hole each year over Antarctica during the Austral spring

Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer, flown on Nimbus-7 and operational in 1978 - 1988
The Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instrument, is managed by The Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA) From satellites such as Nimbus-7 it makes measurements of the total ozone in a column of air (from ground to space) By making 14 polar orbits each day, this single instrument provides daily maps of ozone covering most of the globe With just the one instrument circling around and around, the problems of calibration differences between sites are very much reduced With the abundance of global data, one can calculate statistics on ozone changes that are reliable and robust As of this writing, there are no TOMS instruments measuring ozone Designed to last about two years, the first TOMS, which flew on board the Nimbus 7 spacecraft (at an altitude of about 950 km), began operations in November 1978 and lasted until May 1993 The second TOMS instrument was launched in August 1991 aboard the Russian Meteor-3 spacecraft (at about 1205 km altitude); it failed in December 1994
