Six years of total ozone data derived from the Nimbus 7 Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SBUV) experiment are compared with results from 41 Dobson stations to determine year-to-year changes in addition to the monthly bias change for individual stations and for the network. The SBUV measurements are found to drift against the Dobson stations with a linear trend of .38 + or - .13 percent/yr. The cause of the drift could not be separated between residual uncorrected drift in the SBUV instrument, limited sensitivity of the SBUV to increases in tropospheric ozone, and the effect of local increases in pollution level on individual Dobson stations.
