English: The understanding and monitoring of Earth's ozone layer improved remarkably in the 1970s and 1980s thanks to satellite advancements. NOAA-9 was part of a series of satellites called the Advanced TIROS-N (ATN) series that began in the late 1970s, and it carried the Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SBUV/2) instrument, which was designed to measure total ozone concentrations and the vertical distribution of ozone in Earth's atmosphere. This ozone analysis map from the NOAA-9 satellite shows an ozone hole over Antarctica in October 1987. In August that year, the original Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed, the first step in an international effort to protect stratospheric ozone. |
