The MLS version four ozone profiles have lower standard deviation in the middle stratosphere (38\u201310 hPa), whereas the ozonesonde profiles have lower standard deviation in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere region (200\u201383 hPa). There are statistically significant differences between these two datasets in most of the stratosphere (10\u201383 hPa). The mean value of MLS ozone is about 0.8\u20131.5 mPa greater than that of ECC ozone, which corresponds to a relative deviation of 59 \u00b1 24% at 83 hPa, 24 \u00b1 13% at 68 hPa, 20 \u00b1 5% at 56 hPa, 14 \u00b1 4% at 46 hPa and 38 hPa, and 9 \u00b1 4% in the layers between 32 and 10 hPa. However, there is no statistically significant difference between the two datasets in the upper troposphere (100\u2013200 hPa).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs9101012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,29]],"date-time":"2017-09-29T12:24:04Z","timestamp":1506687844000},"page":"1012","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Comparison of Electrochemical Concentration Cell Ozonesonde and Microwave Limb Sounder Satellite Remote Sensing Ozone Profiles for the Center of the South Asian High"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3846-5415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chunhua","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Meteorological Disaster, Ministry of Education (KLME)\/Joint International Research Laboratory of Climate and Environment Change (ILCEC)\/Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Chenxin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Meteorological Disaster, Ministry of Education (KLME)\/Joint International Research Laboratory of Climate and Environment Change (ILCEC)\/Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Dong","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Meteorological Disaster, Ministry of Education (KLME)\/Joint International Research Laboratory of Climate and Environment Change (ILCEC)\/Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1318","DOI":"10.1007\/s00376-011-0174-9","article-title":"Formation of the summertime ozone valley over the Tibetan Plateau: The Asian summer monsoon and air column variations","volume":"28","author":"Bian","year":"2011","journal-title":"Adv.
