| Abstract | The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) has monitored the composition of the stratosphere and lower mesosphere for more than three years since its launch on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite in September 1991. The MLS measures thermal emission from the atmospheric limb at millimetre wavelengths and is the first limb sounder to operate at these wavelengths from space. The primary measurements are of the concentrations of O/sub 3/, ClO and water vapour and of atmospheric temperature. Secondary products which have been produced include SO/sub 2/ from volcanic injections, HNO/sub 3/, and upper tropospheric water vapour. Vertical profiles of atmospheric concentrations are retrieved from the measured radiances. Daily global maps at a number of levels in the atmosphere are produced from these profiles. Major results to date are summarised. The depletion of ozone in the Antarctic spring is illustrated with maps for 1991, 92 and 93. Maps for the Arctic are compared with corresponding maps for the Antarctic. Significant decrease in gaseous HNO/sub 3/ has been observed in the Antarctic vortex. Water vapour fields used as tracers illustrate dynamical features of the winter polar vortices and, in the tropics, show a clear semi-annual oscillation in the upper stratosphere and a modulation of the annual cycle by the quasi-biennial cycle in the lower stratosphere. At low latitudes increased SO/sub 2/ was observed following the 1991 Pinatubo volcanic eruption. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
