abstract = {Studying tropospheric ozone over the remote areas of the
planet, such as the open oceans and the polar regions, is
crucial to understand the role of ozone as a global climate
forcer and regulator of atmospheric oxidative capacity. A
focus on the pristine oceanic and polar regions complements
the available land-based datasets and provides insights into
key photochemical and depositional loss processes that
control the concentrations and spatiotemporal variability in
ozone as well as the physicochemical mechanisms driving
these patterns. However, an assessment of the role of ozone
over the oceanic and polar regions has been hampered by a
lack of comprehensive observational datasets. Here, we
present the first comprehensive collection of ozone data
over the oceans and the polar regions. The overall dataset
consists of 77 ship cruises/buoy-based observations and 48
aircraft-based campaigns. The dataset, consisting of more
than 630 000 independent ozone measurement data points
covering the period from 1977 to 2022 and an altitude range
from the surface to 5000 m (with a focus on the lowest
2000 m), allows systematic analyses of the spatiotemporal
distribution and long-term trends over the 11 defined
ocean/polar regions. The datasets from ships, buoys, and
aircraft are complemented by ozonesonde data from 29 launch
sites or field campaigns and by 21 non-polar and 17 polar
ground-based station datasets. The datasets contain
information on how long the observed air masses were
isolated from land, as estimated by backward trajectories
from the individual observation points. To extract
observations representative of oceanic conditions, we
recommend using a subset of the data with an isolation time
of 72 h or longer, from the analysis with coincident radon
observations. These filtered oceanic and polar data showed
typically flat diurnal cycles at high latitudes, whereas
daytime decreases in ozone $(11 \%–16 \%)$ were
observed at lower latitudes. The ship/buoy- and
aircraft-based datasets presented here will supplement the
land-based ones in the TOAR-II (Tropospheric Ozone
Assessment Report Phase II) database to provide a fully
global assessment of tropospheric ozone. The described
dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.17596/0004044
