(1998). OPAL: Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change ozone profiler assessment at Lauder, New Zealand 1. Blind intercomparison. Journal of Geophysical Research 103: doi: 10.1029/98JD02706. issn: 0148-0227.

An intercomparison of ozone-profiling instruments, two differential absorption lidars, a microwave radiometer, electrochemical concentration sondes, and the SAGE II satellite instrument is presented. The ground-based instruments were located at the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change (NDSC) primary station at Lauder, New Zealand. The campaign, which took place between April 15 and 29, 1995, strictly followed the NDSC guidelines for a blind intercomparison. Agreement between the measurements was within 15% for single profiles and within 10% for the campaign average, in the region from 20 to 40 km altitude. Outside of this region the differences were greater but can generally be ascribed to the limits of a particular instrument. ¿ 1998 American Geophysical Union
