Ozone total columns have been derived from 13 spectral intervals in 5 infrared bands and compared with values deduced from correlative measurements with a Dobson spectrophotometer. The observations were recorded on 10 days in 1994 at the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change station in Lauder, New Zealand. The infrared total columns were derived from spectral fittings of unblended, temperature-insensitive ozone lines in high resolution solar absorption spectra. The line parameters on the 1992 HITRAN compilation were assumed with the O3 and H2O relative volume mixing ratio and temperature profiles specified from correlative balloon ozonesonde, microwave O3, and radiosonde measurements. The retrieved IR/Dobson total column ratios ranged from 0.96 to 1.02 with the lower wavenumber bands yielding lower ratios. The results do not support the revised O3 intensity scale currently used to process O3 infrared measurements from 2 instruments on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1996
