Since January 1995 an ozone line at 110 GHz is observed with a ground-based microwave radiometer at the Bordeaux Observatory, France (45N), belonging to the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change (NDSC). Ozone profiles from 25 to 75 km are retrieved from the microwave emission spectra using the Optimal Estimation Method. A comprehensive comparison with satellite (HALOE, MLS, SAGE-II) and ground-based instrument data (microwave radiometer in Bern, Switzerland, lidar at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence, France) is given. The average profiles, using the statistically most significant data sets, deviate no more than 15% in the stratosphere and 30% in the mesosphere. In detail, we find that Bordeaux and Bern as well as OHP profiles match well in the stratosphere (25-50 km) with a deviation of less than 5%. SAGE-II, MLS, and HALOE average profiles deviate less than 10% from the Bordeaux ones in the stratosphere. The HALOE ozone vmr's are systematically 10 to 15% higher than the Bordeaux ones in the whole altitude range.
