Short summary
The electrochemical concentration cell ozonesonde is a balloon-borne instrument that measures ozone to an altitude of ~30 km. This work summarizes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's 50+ year, eight-site ozonesonde network history, the processing techniques utilized to account for instrumental changes, and the uncertainty of the measurement. The ozonesonde measurements were compared to satellite measurements and agreed well. This important data set is more useful and robust.
