The review is compiled based on the results of the operation of the Total Ozone (TO) Monitoring System in the CIS and Baltic countries functioning at the Central Aerological Observatory (CAO) in the operational regime. The system uses data from the national network of M-124 filter ozonometers operating under the methodological control of the Main Geophysical Observatory. The quality control of the entire system is performed based on the TOMS/EP observations. The basic results of ozone observations for each month of the second quarter of 2004 and for the quarter as a whole are summarized. Considered are both the results of regular observations of surface ozone concentration in the forest zone of Moscow (at Dolgoprudny station), which characterize the state of ozone as a whole in the central Russian region, and in some other regions of the country.
