“…Center, 2018;Earth Observation portal, 2018;Timofeyev and Vasiliev, 2008;Staehelin et al, 2001). According to regular extensive validation programs (Balis et al, 2007;Boynard et al, 2016;Garkusha et al, 2017), total ozone measurement errors can be from 1 %-2 % to 10 %, depending on the method, device, time, and place of the measurements. We analysed total ozone data of the first quarter of 2016, obtained by the basic Russian ground-based ozonometer M-124 and the satellite instruments OMI and SBUV (recording outgoing solar reflected and scattered spectra of UV radiation), IASI, and a new Russian instrument, IKFS-2 (recording outgoing atmospheric thermal IR radiation).…”
