| Abstract
| - For the measurement of atmospheric ozone concentrations, the mid-infrared and ultraviolet regions are bothused by ground-, air-, or satellite-borne instruments. In this study we report the first laboratory intercomparisonof the ozone absorption coefficients using simultaneous measurements in these spectral regions. Theintercomparison shows good agreement (around 98.5%) between the HITRAN 2000 recommendation for themid-infrared and the most reference measurements in the ultraviolet regions, whereas systematic differencesof about 5.5% are observed when using the recommendation of HITRAN2003 for the mid-infrared. Possiblereasons for this discrepancy are discussed. Future measurements are clearly needed to resolve this issue.
