abstract = {In Canada routine ozone soundings have been carried at
Resolute Bay since 1966, making this record the longest in
the world. Similar measurements started in the 1970s at
three other sites, and the network was expanded in stages to
10 sites by 2003. This important record for understanding
long-term changes in tropospheric and stratospheric ozone
has been re-evaluated as part of the
SPARC/IO3C/IGACO-O3/NDACC (SI2N) initiative. The
Brewer–Mast sonde, used in the Canadian network until
1980, is different in construction from the ECC sonde, and
the ECC sonde itself has also undergone a variety of minor
design changes over the period 1980–2013. Corrections have
been made for the estimated effects of these changes, to
produce a more homogeneous dataset.The effect of the
corrections is generally modest, and so should not
invalidate past analyses that have used Canadian network
data. However, the overall result is entirely positive: the
comparison with co-located total ozone spectrometers is
improved, in terms of both bias and SD, and trends in the
bias have been reduced or eliminated. An uncertainty
analysis (including the additional uncertainty from the
corrections, where appropriate) has also been conducted, and
the altitude-dependent estimated uncertainty is included
with each revised profile.The resulting time series show
negative trends in the lower stratosphere of up to $5\%$
decade−1 for the period 1966–2013. Most of this decline
occurred before 1997, and linear trends for the more recent
period are generally not significant. The time series also
show large variations from year to year. Some of these
anomalies can be related to cold winters (in the Arctic
stratosphere), or changes in the Brewer–Dobson
circulation, which may thereby be influencing trends.In the
troposphere trends for the 48 year period are small, and for
the most part not significant. This suggests that ozone
levels in the free troposphere over Canada have not changed
significantly in nearly 50 years.},
