Ozone profiles and column content have been measured routinely since M
arch 1991 at a new ozone monitoring station located in northern Italy
at San Pietro Capofiume (44 degrees 39'N, 11 degrees 37'E). We present
preliminary results of one year of observations. As one measure of th
e reliability of results obtained, total ozone amounts derived from th
e ozonesonde profiles are compared with total ozone derived from Dobso
n spectrophotometer and Total Ozone Mapping Spectrophotometer (TOMS) s
atellite ozone observations.
