A. M. Zvyagintsev, N. S. Ivanova, Yu. N. Potanin, G. M. Kruchenitskii, and I. N. Kuznetsova

The review is compiled based on the results of the operation of the total ozone (TO) monitoring system in the CIS and Baltic countries, functioning in the operational regime at the Central Aerological Observatory (CAO). The TO monitoring system uses the data from the national network of filter ozonometers type M-124 under control of the Main Geophysical Observatory (MGO). The proper operation of the entire system is under an operational control from observation with the OMI satellite (US NASA) equipment. Basic TO observations data for each month of the first quarter of 2009 and for a quarter as a whole are generalized. Results of regular observations of the surface ozone content in the Moscow region are also presented.
