abstract = {In support of the first Tropospheric Ozone Assessment
Report (TOAR) a relational database of global surface ozone
observations has been developed and populated with hourly
measurement data and enhanced metadata. A comprehensive
suite of ozone data products including standard statistics,
health and vegetation impact metrics, and trend information,
are made available through a common data portal and a web
interface. These data form the basis of the TOAR analyses
focusing on human health, vegetation, and climate relevant
ozone issues, which are part of this special
feature.Cooperation among many data centers and individual
researchers worldwide made it possible to build the world's
largest collection of in-situ hourly surface ozone data
covering the period from 1970 to 2015. By combining the data
from almost 10,000 measurement sites around the world with
global metadata information, new analyses of surface ozone
have become possible, such as the first globally consistent
characterisations of measurement sites as either urban or
rural/remote. Exploitation of these global metadata allows
for new insights into the global distribution, and seasonal
and long-term changes of tropospheric ozone and they enable
TOAR to perform the first, globally consistent analysis of
present-day ozone concentrations and recent ozone changes
with relevance to health, agriculture, and
climate.Considerable effort was made to harmonize and
synthesize data formats and metadata information from
various networks and individual data submissions. Extensive
quality control was applied to identify questionable and
erroneous data, including changes in apparent instrument
offsets or calibrations. Such data were excluded from TOAR
data products. Limitations of a posteriori data quality
assurance are discussed. As a result of the work presented
here, global coverage of surface ozone data for scientific
analysis has been significantly extended. Yet, large gaps
remain in the surface observation network both in terms of
regions without monitoring, and in terms of regions that
have monitoring programs but no public access to the data
archive. Therefore future improvements to the database will
require not only improved data harmonization, but also
expanded data sharing and increased monitoring in
data-sparse regions.},
