The part of Earth’s atmosphere with high concentrations of ozone gas is known as the ‘ozone layer’, and protects life on Earth from ultraviolet radiation.
However, pollutants can break down ozone, causing thinning of the layer and the infamous ozone hole.
The depletion of ozone in our atmosphere and subsequent increase in ultraviolet exposure causes skin cancer, cataracts and immune system damage in humans, and injures animals, plants and even microscopic phytoplankton.

With a swath width of 2600 km, Sentinel-5P’s Tropomi instrument maps global ozone on a daily basis and contributes to the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service to support public policies related to ozone monitoring and public health.
For example, information from Sentinel-5P is used for daily forecasts of ultraviolet radiation and support public warning systems, so that people in a certain area may choose to stay indoors on days when ozone concentration is particularly low.
Additionally, Sentinel-5P ensures the continuation of ozone data for long-term climate and atmosphere monitoring.

Sentinel missions
The Sentinel missions are developed specifically for the operational needs of the Copernicus programme. Each Sentinel mission is based on a constellation of satellites to fulfil revisit and coverage requirements, providing robust datasets for Copernicus services.
