Abstract

This paper points out the unsatisfactory character of the units for expressing column amounts of atmospheric ozone (i.e., total ozone), it examines a number of alternative units suitable for column amounts of not only ozone but any gas in any planetary atmosphere, and it argues the case for using the SI derived unit of mole per square metre.
