Introduction to the TOMS Instrument - The best long term global dataset of atmospheric ozone was collected by the Nimbus-7 TOMS. Nimbus-7 was launched on October 24, 1978, and carried a payload of experimental
instruments to observe Earth's environment. Among these were SBUV and TOMS, a pair of sensors that shared several components and were designed to study ozone concentrations
in Earth's atmosphere. TOMS became operational on October 31, 1978, and provided global ozone data almost every day until May 6, 1993.

Measurement of Atmospheric Ozone - Scientists have been studying the concentration of ozone in the atmosphere since the 1920s. Since then, instruments have evolved from ground based spectrometers to balloons,
aircraft, rockets, and satellites. Developments in ozone instrumentation have enabled measurements to expand from the atmosphere above an isolated ground station to daily global
coverage and profiles of ozone in the atmosphere.
