AB: The Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System (OSIRIS) was launched onboard the Odin satellite in February 2001. Since the satellite became fully operational in November 2001, stratospheric ozone and nitrogen dioxide profiles have been routinely retrieved from the limb-scattered sunlight measurements made by OSIRIS. Both species are retrieved between 10 km and 50 km with a vertical resolution of about 2 km and an accuracy of 10% at 30 km. Various studies have found the results to be in good agreement with other satellite, balloon-based and ground-based instruments. In this paper an overview of the OSIRIS stratospheric ozone and nitrogen dioxide dataset will be presented. The dataset offers an excellent source for intercomparison studies.
