Abstract
Monthly average ozone profiles from the first year of operation of the solar backscattered ultraviolet (SBUV) instrument on the NIMBUS 7 satellite (November 1978 through October 1979) are tabulated for 10° latitude bands from 80°S to 80°N. For each month and latitude zone we list layer ozone amounts and standard deviations for 12 Umkehr layers (approximately 0–60 km) and the average total ozone for each zone. The ozone mixing ratio and number density at the center of each layer are also given. We find that the average SBUV profiles agree with average Umkehr profiles measured at Boulder to within 10% over most of the range. The Krueger‐Minizner model is found to be a good representative ozone model for 45°N, agreeing with an annual average of our measured profiles to better than 10% between 20 and 60 km.
