The total amounts of ozone are normally determined from direct sun observations with the help of a Dobson's spectrophotometer. In this paper preparation of zenith sky charts from zenith sky ozone observations has been explained. It has been shown that on occasions when ozone observations from direct sunlight are not possible due to clouds covering the sun, ozone amounts can be determined with reasonable degree of accuracy from zenith sky observations with the help of these zenith sky charts.
