Daily average TOC at Athens, retrieved by BRS, for the period 2004–2019; 1 and 2σ variations along with 2020 measured TOC values are also shown.
Daily average TOC at Athens, retrieved by BRS, for the period 2004–2019; 1 and 2σ variations along with 2020 measured TOC values are also shown.

In this study we focus on measurements and modeled UV index in the region of Athens, Greece, during a low ozone event. During the period of 12–19 May 2020, total ozone column (TOC) showed extremely low values, 35–55 Dobson Units (up to 15%) decrease from the climatic mean (being lower than the −2σ).
