        8, 9 - Other, as specified 
OOO = Ozone Value in Dobson units (DU) 
MEAN = Monthly mean value of ozone meausurements
For example, the data below is for BIS May 95. The ozone value for the 14th was 372DU from an AD direct-sun observation taken at approximately 1400 UTC. The monthly mean was 347DU. The ozone value for the 13th is of uncertain quality.
