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 electrochemical
concentration cell (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 data set.The effect of the corrections is
generally modest. However, the overall result is entirely
positive: the comparison with co-located total ozone
spectrometers is improved, in terms of both bias and
standard deviation, 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.},
