Satellite observations, notably from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instruments, provided essential empirical data documenting the extent and progression of global ozone layer depletion.

The analysis

The claim states that Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer satellites provided the data that identified ozone layer depletion. Papers [2] and [4] explicitly utilize TOMS data to evaluate ozone distributions, climatology, and long-term depletion rates, fully supporting the claim.
