Typical ozone column values<br />

• Total ozone column value ranges from 290 to<br />

310 DU over the globe.<br />

• If all the atmosphere's ozone were brought<br />

down to the earth's surface at standard<br />

pressure and temperature, it would produce a<br />

layer of about 3mm thick.<br />

• <strong>Ozone</strong> depletion: when sum of ozone over<br />

height is lower than 2/3 of the normal value,<br />

we say "ozone depletion" occurs.
