MTPE [Mission to Planet Earth (renamed Earth Science in 1998)] continued its long record of observations and research into variations in the global concentrations and distributions of stratospheric ozone. The Total Ozone Monitoring Satellite (TOMS) and ER-2 aircraft observed record low concentrations of ozone over the Arctic ... These are not unlike the low concentrations which were followed in subsequent years by the "ozone hole" in the Antarctic.

Spectromètre embarqué sur le satellite Nimbus 7 lancé en 1979, qui enregistre les quantités moyennes d'ozone total afin d'établir une carte mondiale de la répartition de ces quantités.

OBS

Dans certains périodiques français, on décode parfois erronément le sigle TOMS par l'expression Total Ozone Mapping System. Cette mauvaise interprétation du S final du sigle est probablement à l'origine de l'expression française Système TOMS qui a été attestée à quelques reprises.
