Total Ozone Forecast Map for Canada
The total ozone forecast map and total ozone
deviations forecast map are based on ozone forecasts provided by the
Canadian Meteorological Centre.
Total ozone values are given in
Dobson Units.
The numbers represent forecasts for ground-based total ozone measurement sites.
Maps of deviations represent total ozone deviations from the 1978-1988 level estimated using
TOMS data.
These maps are normally updated
daily at about 1400
UTC.
However, this near-real-time system is automated, so
if a system problem occurs outside of regular working hours, it will not be
fixed until the following work day.
