Title: The Use of TOMS Measurements to Track Tropospheric Aerosols
Abstract: This video uses TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer) measurements to graphically illustrate concentrations of airborne aerosols over the globe. Sections include: 1) Global distribution of UV absorbing tropospheric aerosols - 1987 2) Biomass burning in southern Africa - 1986 3) Biomass burning in South America - 1987 4) Great China Fire - 1987 5) Yellowstone Fire - 1988 6) El Chichon Volcano - 1982 7) North Atlantic Ocean

*Please note: the SVS does not fulfill requests for copies of the tapes in our library. On some of our animation pages, there is a direct link to a video distribution service from which tapes, handled by the Public Affairs Office (PAO)/Goddard TV, including some of our animations may be ordered. General information on this service can be found here.
