A Reference Model for Middle Atmosphere Ozone in 1992-1993An ozone climatology for the period April 1992 to March 1993 and covering pressures from 0.1 to 100 hPa and from 80 deg N to 80 deg S is derived from satellite-based measurements by the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE), the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE), and the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS). At pressures less than 1 hPa, separate distributions are given for daytime and nighttime conditions. From 0.46 to 32 hPa the accuracy of the distribution is estimated to be 5%, and the precision is also approx. 5%. Estimates of atmospheric variability are provided on the basis of standard deviations of the measurements within months. Distributions of ozone monthly means and standard deviations are also given in a potential temperature, equivalent latitude coordinate system. This data set is included in the UARS reference atmosphere, and it is accessible through that web site.
