Vindeln (AMAP area, lat 64.24°N long 19.77°E) and Norrköping (southern Sweden, lat 58.58°N long 16.15°E), monitoring of total ozone.
Data are available at the national datahost: Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), 601 76 Norrköping, Sweden, and SMHI website:(http://www.smhi.se) and (https://www.smhi.se/klimatdata/meteorologi/ozon); also on website of World Ozone and Ultraviolet Data Centre in Canada (http://www.woudc.org/index_e.html ). Results from the Swedish EMEP-programme are published annually, reported to the EMEP database at NILU, included in the European modelling and evaluation activities, and to European Topic Centre on Air and Climate hange (EIONET): (http://acm.eionet.europa.eu/).

Standard methodology applied according to the WMO recommendations. A Brewer ozone spectroradiometer has been in operation since 1983. In 1990 this instrument was moved to Vindeln (64.2 N 19.8 E) . The main purpose of this instrument is to monitor total ozone. However, its capability to measure UV-spectra has been used to produce a spectral data base.

Continual monitoring of the ozone layer is performed in Norrköping in central Sweden and at Vindeln in the AMAP area. Data on totalozone is also used for calculations of UV-B radiation an UV index. The locations are included in the international network for monitoring of the ozone layer within WMO Global Ozone Observig System.
