Abstract
Total ozone was measured from Abisko, Sweden (68.4-degrees-N,18.8-degr ees-E) from January to early March 1992, by a new instrument which use s stars and the Moon as sources of UV-visible light for absorption spe ctroscopy. In addition, some zenith-sky observations were made. Ozone measurements obtained using both techniques are presented and compared with diose from other instruments. Good agreement with simultaneous o zonesonde measurements is observed, but the stellar measurements appea r systematically higher than total ozone measured by both SAOZ and TOM S.
