• Purpose
  GOZCARDS (Global OZone Chemistry And Related trace gas Data records for the Stratosphere) refers to a commonly-formatted Earth system data record (ESDR) for stratospheric composition, of high relevance to the issue of ozone decline and recovery. High-quality long-term ozone and related trace gas data records are needed to (a) evaluate and understand composition changes in the atmosphere and (b) constrain model representations of atmospheric dynamics and photochemistry.

Quality The merged time series obtained for GOZCARDS are intended to be quite faithful representations of the originally produced source datasets (the properly screened zonal average series based upon the original Level 2 set of individual profiles), meaning that no data gaps are filled, for example by fitting functions to the sparse datasets. Such fitting procedures will be up to individual users; also, model/data comparisons could be best performed by sampling the models in a way that is not continuous, but rather, follows the data record sampling in time and space.
