This
videotape
was
created
to
be
a
resource
for
helping
to
understand
stratospheric
ozone.
The
instruments
aboard
the
Upper
Atmosphere
Research
Satellite
(UARS)
and
their
measurements
are
described
in
the
video
and
how
they
help
in
studying
humankind's
influence
on
ozone.
The
UARS
satellite
was
launched
in
1991
and
completed
its
mission
in
2005.

This
picture
book
is
designed
to
introduce
children
to
the
Earth's
atmosphere
and
its
importance
to
life
on
Earth.
It
also
introduces
how
the
addition
of
new
gases
(e.g.,
ozone)
contributes
to
changing
the
quality
of
air
we
breathe.
With
an
understanding
of
how
our
atmosphere
works,
we
can
begin
to
understand
how
our
activities
may
be
contributing
to
some
of
those
