Homogenizing and Estimating the Uncertainty in NOAA’s Long-Term Vertical Ozone Profile Records Measured with the Electrochemical Concentration Cell Ozonesonde [STUB]

Abstract: NOAA’s program of long-term monitoring of the vertical distribution of ozone with electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) ozonesondes has undergone a number of changes over the 50-year record. In order to produce a homogenous data set, these changes must be documented and, where necessary, appropriate corrections applied. This is the first comprehensive and consistent reprocessing of NOAA’s ozonesonde data records that corrects for these changes using the rawest form of the data (cell curren…
