Scientific paper

A comparison between mesospheric ozone profiles determined by two radically different satellite-borne instruments is presented for the period of July to November, 1975. The Limb Radiance Inversion Radiometer measured 9.6-micron O3 emission, while the Ultraviolet Multiple Channel Spectrometer measured the atmospheric attenuation of solar ultraviolet radiation during passage of the OSO-8 satellite across the terminator. Only nine near coincident measurements were found. The individual instruments have estimated precision errors of + or - 10 to 15 percent. Agreement between ozone values as measured by the two techniques for specific cases varies between 10 and 20 percent. The statistical correlation is positive and significant at all altitudes where both instruments had reasonable signal-to-noise ratio. A maximum correlation of 0.76 occurred at 0.3 mb (about 59 km).
