Satellite ozone data from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer 1979 through 1986 show that recent decreases of total have not been confined to Antarctic spring season (the hole), but are global in extent. The losses about twice estimated uncertainty satellite data. largest middle and high latitudes occur all seasons year. for this 8-year period comparable magnitude increases observed during 1960s. Southern Hemisphere values generally greater than those 1985.
