Modern ground-based and satellite remote sensing methods of ozone content monitoring

Ozone is one of the most important gas components in the Earth's atmosphere. Its importance as an absorber of dangerous UV solar radiation, a greenhouse gas and a dangerous gas in the troposphere, as well as the fall of its content in the 80s of the last century stimulated the creation of a global ozone monitoring system. The report analyzes the main modern remote ground-based and satellite methods of vertical profiles (VP) and total ozone content (TOC) measurements of ozone content.  Their main characteristics - random and systematic measurement errors, vertical and horizontal resolution, measurement areas, periodicity, etc. - are considered.  The given characteristics are compared with modern international requirements for ozone measurements formulated in various fields of atmospheric sciences - atmospheric applications, atmospheric physics, agricultural meteorology, global numerical weather forecasting and climate monitoring, high-resolution weather forecasting, climatology, atmospheric chemistry, etc.
