Abstract

Abstract Total ozone measurements with a Dobson spectrophotometer (No. 118) have been instituted in Athens (37.9° N, 23.8° E) from 1989 and they now form part of the data published by the World Meteorological Organization, World Ozone Data Center. We have used this data set in order to examine the consistency of data from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (flown on the Nimbus-7 satellite) with the corresponding Dobson data on a daily basis. The results show that the Athens station may be used to provide ground truth for satellite-based total ozone measurements and also for providing reasonably accurate total ozone values for south eastern Europe.
