Abstract
The changes of total ozone in the Earth's atmosphere affect both the observed atmospheric changes and the climate of our planet. For ground-based observations of total ozone in the Russian Federation (RF), the Dobson and Brewer spectrophotometers, SAOZ spectrometers are in use. Filter M-124 ozonometers measure the total ozone for use in the Russian ozone network. In the near future, we will start the installation and trial operation of modern automated UVOS spectrometers for observations of total ozone and ultraviolet radiation. The paper presents the main specifications of equipment for ground-based observations of total ozone in the RF. The problems of modernization of the national network for the total ozone and ultraviolet solar radiation are presented and discussed.
