Global changes, such as climate warming and stratospheric ozone depletion, are increasingly noticeable. Therefore, there is a need for scientists to have reliable information about atmospheric and stratospheric processes. Today, all developed countries have invested in sophisticated surveillance systems. Their data feeds into mathematical atmospheric models to provide sets of graphical, data and documentary information—often available online—used by climate scientists, weather forecasters, environmental agencies, authorities, etc. Europe specifically keeps data of unique and most valuable long-time Arctic and Antarctic ozone concentrations levels.
