Third European Stratospheric Experiment on Ozone (THESEO)
THESEO is taking place during 1998 and 1999. The main aim is to improve our understanding of the
causes of ozone depletion over Europe and other mid-latitude regions, where the ozone layer has
been progressively depleted for the last 20-30 years.
