abstract = {profile records of a large number of limb and occultation
satellite instruments are widely used to address several key
questions in ozone research. Further progress in some
domains depends on a more detailed understanding of these
data sets, especially of their long-term stability and their
mutual consistency. To this end, we made a systematic
assessment of 14 limb and occultation sounders that,
together, provide more than three decades of global ozone
profile measurements. In particular, we considered the
latest operational Level-2 records by SAGE II, SAGE III,
HALOE, UARS MLS, Aura MLS, POAM II, POAM III, OSIRIS, SMR,
GOMOS, MIPAS, SCIAMACHY, ACE-FTS and MAESTRO. Central to our
work is a consistent and robust analysis of the comparisons
against the ground-based ozonesonde and stratospheric ozone
lidar networks. It allowed us to investigate, from the
troposphere up to the stratopause, the following main
aspects of satellite data quality: long-term stability,
overall bias and short-term variability, together with their
dependence on geophysical parameters and profile
representation. In addition, it permitted us to quantify the
overall consistency between the ozone profilers. Generally,
we found that between 20 and 40 km the satellite ozone
measurement biases are smaller than $±5 \%,$ the
short-term variabilities are less than $5–12 \%$ and the
drifts are at most $±5 \% decade−1$ (or even
$±3 \% decade−1$ for a few records). The agreement
with ground-based data degrades somewhat towards the
stratopause and especially towards the tropopause where
natural variability and low ozone abundances impede a more
precise analysis. In part of the stratosphere a few records
deviate from the preceding general conclusions; we
identified biases of $10 \%$ and more (POAM II and
SCIAMACHY), markedly higher single-profile variability (SMR
and SCIAMACHY) and significant long-term drifts (SCIAMACHY,
OSIRIS, HALOE and possibly GOMOS and SMR as well).
Furthermore, we reflected on the repercussions of our
findings for the construction, analysis and interpretation
of merged data records. Most notably, the discrepancies
between several recent ozone profile trend assessments can
be mostly explained by instrumental drift. This clearly
demonstrates the need for systematic comprehensive
multi-instrument comparison analyses.},
