Where is the Ozone Layer?
Students will look at ozone data collected by NOAA at the South Pole with ozonesondes. Students will use ozone data to determine where the ozone layer is in the atmosphere.

Ozone Over Time
One mission of NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory is to monitor the amount of ozone in the stratosphere. Every year in October there is a dramatic decrease of ozone over the South Pole. This is called the Ozone Hole. Today you will look at ozone data from a Dobson Ozone Spectrometer. NOAA has Dobson instruments at many locations around the world. You will be looking at data from the Dobson located at the South Pole.
CO2 by the Numbers
Students will look at carbon dioxide data from NOAA’s observatory on the top of Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
