Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image from the Southern Hemisphere in 1979 was aquired from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer instrument aboard Nimbus-7. Nimbus-7 was the last satellite in a series of satellites in NASA's Nimbus mission whose data and imagery NOAA used to better understand the Earth’s atmosphere, weather, land and oceans. From this satellite's data, scientists discovered that Antarctic ozone levels dropped below 200 Dobson Units for the first time on record. This threshold became the standard for defining the ozone hole for decades to come.
