Description

The McPeters and Labow Seasonal Ozone Profile Climatology 2011 product (O3CLIM_ML_SEASONAL) consists of 22 years (1988-2010) of ozonesonde measurements and data from Aura MLS (2004-2010) to create an ozone climatology of monthly 10 degree zonal bands. The product contains three files: one contains the climatology in volume mixing ration per kilometer, one has the corresponding statistics (standard deviations in ppmv), and one has the climatology in Dobson units per kilometer (DU/km).

The data are stored in three separate ASCII text files. Data are monthly and zonally averaged at 10 degree resolution, from 0 to 65 km at 1 km increments. Each file size is 115 kB.
