                         measurements of the total ozone column (TOC) over the Southern 
                         Space Observatory (SSO) in Sa{\~o} Martinho da Serra, Brazil 
                         (29.26° S, 53.48° and 488 m altitude). The TOC was measured by a 
                         Brewer spectrometer, and the results are also compared to daily 
                         and monthly observations from the TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping 
                         Spectrometer) and OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument) satellite 
                         instruments. Analyses of the main interannual modes of variability 
                         computed using the wavelet transform method were performed. A 
                         favorable agreement between the Brewer spectrophotometer and 
                         satellite datasets was found. The seasonal TOC variation is 
                         dominated by an annual cycle, with a minimum of approximately 260 
                         DU in April and a maximum of approximately 295 DU in September. 
                         The wavelet analysis applied in the SSO TOC anomaly time series 
                         revealed that the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) modulation was 
                         the main mode of interannual variability. The comparison between 
                         the SSO TOC anomaly time series with the QBO index revealed that 
                         the two are in opposite phases.",
