Summary
Abstract: The GOZCARDS Source Data for Temperature Monthly Zonal Averages on a Geodetic Latitude and Pressure Grid product (GozSmlpT) contains zonal means and related information (standard deviation, minimum/maximum value, etc.), calculated from the original products. The source Temperature data are from the GMAO MERRA model product DAS 3d analyzed state MAI6NVANA (v5.2.0; 1979 - onward). The vertical ... View entire text

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.
