Many intercomparisons between different ozonesonde types and reference instruments have been conducted over the last 40 years [Attmannspacher and Dütsch, 1970; 1981; Barnes et al., 1985; Hilsenrath et al. 1986; Kerr et al., 1994; Beekmann et al., 1994; 1995; Komhyr et al., 1995a; 1995b; Reid et al., 1996; Boyd et al., 1998; Johnson et al., 2002; Fioletov et al. 2006; Terao and Logan, 2007; Smit et al., 2007; Deshler et al., 2008; Stübi et al. 2008].

The format is based on the NASA / AMES 2160 format and efforts are taken to standardize this format amongst all stations to avoid the need for a multiplicity of readers to access NDACC ozonesonde data. (esa-ozone-cci.org)
Ozone data set categories include total column ozone and vertical profile data from lidar measurements, ozonesonde flights, and the Umkehr technique. (woudc.org)
