Abstract

This dataset comprises gridded limb ozone monthly zonal mean profiles from the ACE FTS instrument on the SCISAT satellite.

The data are zonal mean time series (10° latitude bin) and include uncertainty/variability of the Monthly Zonal Mean.

The monthly zonal mean (MZM) data set provides ozone profiles averaged in 10° latitude zones from 90°S to 90°N, for each month. The monthly zonal mean data are structured into yearly netcdf files, for each instrument separately. The filename indicates the instrument and the year. For example, the file “ESACCI-OZONE-L3-LP-ACE_FTS_SCISAT-MZM-2008-fv0001.nc” contains monthly zonal mean data for ACE in 2008.
