abstract = {From the earliest observations of ozone in the lower
atmosphere in the 19th century, both measurement methods and
the portion of the globe observed have evolved and changed.
These methods have different uncertainties and biases, and
the data records differ with respect to coverage (space and
time), information content, and representativeness. In this
study, various ozone measurement methods and ozone datasets
are reviewed and selected for inclusion in the historical
record of background ozone levels, based on relationship of
the measurement technique to the modern UV absorption
standard, absence of interfering pollutants,
representativeness of the well-mixed boundary layer and
expert judgement of their credibility. There are significant
uncertainties with the 19th and early 20th-century
measurements related to interference of other gases.
Spectroscopic methods applied before 1960 have likely
underestimated ozone by as much as $11\%$ at the surface and
by about $24\%$ in the free troposphere, due to the use of
differing ozone absorption coefficients.There is no
unambiguous evidence in the measurement record back to 1896
that typical mid-latitude background surface ozone values
were below about 20 nmol mol–1, but there is robust
evidence for increases in the temperate and polar regions of
the northern hemisphere of $30–70\%,$ with large
uncertainty, between the period of historic observations,
1896–1975, and the modern period (1990–2014).
Independent historical observations from balloons and
aircraft indicate similar changes in the free troposphere.
Changes in the southern hemisphere are much less. Regional
representativeness of the available observations remains a
potential source of large errors, which are difficult to
quantify.The great majority of validation and
intercomparison studies of free tropospheric ozone
measurement methods use ECC ozonesondes as reference.
Compared to UV-absorption measurements they show a modest
$(~1–5\%$ $±5\%)$ high bias in the troposphere, but no
evidence of a change with time. Umkehr, lidar, and FTIR
methods all show modest low biases relative to ECCs, and so,
using ECC sondes as a transfer standard, all appear to agree
to within one standard deviation with the modern
UV-absorption standard. Other sonde types show an increase
of $5–20\%$ in sensitivity to tropospheric ozone from
1970–1995.Biases and standard deviations of satellite
retrieval comparisons are often 2–3 times larger than
those of other free tropospheric measurements. The lack of
information on temporal changes of bias for satellite
measurements of tropospheric ozone is an area of concern for
long-term trend studies.},
