An overview of the measurements of total ozone and ozone profiles by the SBUV/2 instrument on the NOAA-9 spacecraft relative to similar measurements from the solar backscatter ultraviolet (SBUV) and TOMS instruments on Nimbus-7 is presented. During the three-year period from March 14, 1985 to February 28, 1988, when these data sets overlap, it is shown that there have been significant changes in the calibrations of the three instruments that may be attributed to diffuser plate degradation (for SBUV/TOMS) and to the drift of the NOAA-9 orbit to later equator crossing times (for SBUV/2). Though these instrument characteristic changes have effected the absolute values of the trends derived from the three instruments, their geophysical characteristics and response to short-term variations are accurate and correlate well among the three instruments. It is seen that the total column ozone measured by the three instruments shows good agreement with respect to its day-to-day, seasonal, and latitudinal variabilities.
