. COMPARISON OF BREWER AND DOBSON TOTAL OZONE Brewer and Dobson spectrophotometers are widely used for Total Ozone monitoring. In Arosa (Switzerland, 46.8N/9.68E 1820 m a.s.l.) there are two semi-automatic Dobson systems and three automatic Brewer systems, which measure total ozone continuously and quasi - simultaneously. The co-location of these two instruments allows a direct comparison for QUALITY CONTROL and for STUDYING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO TYPES OF SPECTROPHOTOMETERS. Data ( ) from the two types of sun spectrophotometers (Dobson 62, 101 and Brewer 40, 72, 156) are compared two by two and analysed using the following statistical model: O 3 Br - O 3 D = C +  + X T +  O 3 Br ; O 3 D : Brewer and Dobson Total Ozone C: allows a zero mean difference μ: linear term proportional to the air mass [Thomason et al., 1983] X T : influence of temperature  error Two distinct approaches for differences in temperature sensitivities of ozone wavelengths are considered: Approach 1 T eff : ozone effective temperature calculated from ozone and temperature sounding data from Payerne (200 km from Arosa). Approach 2 T p : simplified approach only using temperature at two altitudes (at 31 and 51 hPa given by the soundings of Payerne Aerological Station). Reduction of seasonal differences by model (Fig. 3): Annual Average : The contribution to the difference from the effective temperature is significantly larger than that from μ (Fig. 4, center plot): Seasonal Variability: The relative contribution to the difference from μ is larger in winter than in summer Dependence on the magnitude of TOZ: – TOZ<290 DU: agreement between the 2 instruments is better, with improved agreement in summer than winter. –TOZ>290 DU: the influence of atmospheric parameters is reduced in winter. Approach 2 Less precise. Further analysis: Attempt to generalize transfer function using other instruments at Arosa. METHOD Fig 2. Model of the molecular ozone cross-section from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (satellite UV- visible spectrophotometer) database. Quasi-simultaneous direct sun measurements from the two types of spectrophotometers yield small, but characteristic seasonal variation in the differences of Total Ozone (Fig. 1). Causes of differences might include: Different wavelengths with different T sensitivities of ozone absorption (Fig. 2) Different retrieval algorithms Different fields of view Differing influence of scattered light Fig 4.
