The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) measures the chemistry of the lower stratosphere and upper troposphere. Ozone that is present in the troposphere is mostly a result of anthropogenic pollution and therefore higher concentrations are found in urban areas.

This animation shows varied concentrations of ozone near the Antarctic pole. The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs UV radiation
and creates a warm layer of air in the stratosphere and is therefore responsible for the thermal structure of the stratosphere.
