Abstract
Data of stratospheric ozone measurements with the AK-3 lidar over Obninsk in 2012–2015 are compared with Aura/MLS and Aura/OMI satellite data and parallel surface observations of total ozone (TO) with the Brewer spectrophotometer. The maximum difference in mean ozone concentration between the lidar and Aura/MLS data in the altitude range of 13 to 32 km does not exceed 0.2 x 1012 mol./cm3 (or the maximum of 9% at the altitude of 13 km). At the same time, Aura/OMI data have a positive bias of about 20% relative to lidar data in the range of 13 to 20 km that is associated with OMI measurement errors according to literature data. Total ozone values calculated from lidar measurements jointly with the known climatology data are compared with those measured with the Brewer spectrophotometer. It is demonstrated that the correlation between the results of measurements obtained by two methods is close to linear, and the mean relative difference in the overall measurement range does not exceed 5%.
