Abstract
The ozone profiles measured by GOMOS are compared with the ozone soundings at two stations: Marambio (56.7°W, 64.3°S) in Antarctica and Sodankylä (23.6°E, 67.4°N) in northern Europe. The agreement between the GOMOS night measurements and the ozone soundings from Sodankylä and Marambio are found to be good. Comparisons of measurements during 2003 show that the difference between the averages at 15 km and 30 km altitude range are within ±5% for Marambio and somewhat worse for Sodankylä. The individual comparisons show that the good vertical resolution of 2 km to 3 km together with the dense altitude grid (0.5 km to 1.7 km) of the GOMOS profiles make it possible to detect also small scale structures in the ozone profiles.
