ABSTRACT

Satellite based measurements of ozone total column performed with the GOME/ERS-2 sensor are compared with the ground-based measurements at Hohenpeissenberg. GOME data from July 1995 through April 2006 is compared with Brewer and Dobson measurements. It is shown that GOME and the ground-based measurements agree at the percentage level. Additionally GOME measurements are stable over the complete time period what makes GOME well suitable for trend-analysis and climate studies
