The review is compiled on the basis of 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 the methodological supervision of the Main Geophysical Observatory. The quality of the functioning of the entire system is under operational control based on the observa¬tions obtained from the OMI satellite equipment (NASA, the United States). The basic TO observation data are generalized for each month of the third quarter of 2014 and for the quarter as a whole. The results are also given of regular observations of surface ozone content carried out in the Moscow region and characterizing ozone conditions in the surface layer in the center of the European part of Russia.
