AB: Strategically designed ozonesonde networks (e.g. SHADOZ, MATCH, IONS) have revolutionized ozone sampling in the troposphere and stratosphere, providing mechanistic information and data for trends not accessible by other measurement methods. The SHADOZ network has collected more than 3500 ozone and P-T-U profiles at 15 tropical and subtropical stations since 1998 [Thompson et al., 2003a; 2007]. SHADOZ has added greatly to our knowledge about variability and trends at individual stations and provided new views of the equatorial wave- one in tropospheric ozone, Brewer-Dobson circulation, the quasi-biennial oscillation in temperature and ozone, convective impacts on ozone and processes within the so-called Tropical Tropopause Layer. SHADOZ is invaluable for evaluation of satellite data and ozone distributions computed from chemical-transport and assimilation models. An important contribution of SHADOZ to global observations and trends is improved accuracy and precision of the ozonesonde measurement derived from participation of SHADOZ Co-investigators in intercomparison activities of the World Meteorological Organization. This paper will review these SHADOZ highlights.
