The review is compiled based on the results of the operation of the Total Ozone (TO) Monitoring in the CIS and Baltic countries functioning in the operational regime at the Central Aerological Observatory (CAO). The monitoring system uses the data from the national network with M-124 filter ozonometers under methodological supervision of the Main Geophysical Observatory. The quality of functioning of the entire system is under operational control based on observations obtained from the OMI satellite equipment (NASA, the United States). The basic TO observation data for each month of the second quarter of 2011 and for the quarter as a whole are generalized. The results are also considered of regular surface ozone observations having been conducted by the CAO in the forest area of Moscow since 1991 that characterize the surface ozone state in the central Russian region.
