The 1992 global average total ozone, measured by the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) on the Nimbus-7 satellite, was 2 to 3 percent lower than any earlier year observed by TOMS (1979 to 1991). Ozone amounts were low in a wide range of latitudes in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, and the largest decreases were in the regions from 10 degrees S to 20 degrees S and 100N to 60 degrees N. Global ozone in 1992 is at least 1.5 percent lower than would be predicted by a statistical model that includes a linear trend and accounts for solar cycle variation and the quasi-biennial oscillation. These results are confirmed by comparisons with data from other ozone monitoring instruments: the SBUV/2 instrument on the NOAA-11 satellite, the TOMS instrument on the Russian Meteor-3 satellite, the World Standard Dobson Instrument 83, and a collection of 22 ground-based Dobson instruments.
1992 年全球平均臭氧总量，由 Nimbus-7 卫星上的总臭氧绘图光谱仪（TOMS）测量，比 TOMS 观测到的任何早期年份（1979 年至 1991 年）低 2%至 3%。在南北半球的广泛纬度范围内，臭氧含量都很低，最大的降幅出现在南纬 10 度至 20 度和北纬 100 度至 60 度之间的地区。1992 年全球臭氧水平至少比包含线性趋势、考虑太阳周期变化和准两年振荡的统计模型预测的水平低 1.5%。这些结果与其他臭氧监测仪器的数据进行了比较，得到了证实：NOAA-11 卫星上的 SBUV/2 仪器、俄罗斯 Meteor-3 卫星上的 TOMS 仪器、世界标准多布森 83 仪器以及 22 台地面多布森仪器的集合。
