O3 profile by ESA (last update: 16 May 2011)
validation summary	The ozone profile product of Level 2 v5.01 shows an improvement over Level 2 v3.01. Version 5.01 ozone profiles have a correct vertical shape, and capture well the seasonal cycle and meridional structure. When compared to GB network data, O₃ profiles retrieved with SGP 5.01 are of equivalent or better quality than those retrieved with SGP 3.01. The low bias in v3.01 is significantly reduced. In the mid-latitudes SCIAMACHY v5.01 matches validation instruments within 5% up to 38 km altitude.
available data	Data from August 2002 to now are processed with OL 5.01. Data can be ordered via the ESA EO Principal Investigator Portal. Currently data are being reprocessed with the updated OL 5.02.
