        abstract:  This data set contains continuous UV photometric data of surface level ozone collected at 6m above ground level. Data records consist of UTC time, date, and processed ozone mixing ratio (parts per billion). Data is collected from global locations and is provided in 1 minute and 1 hour averages. Data are archived at the NOAA National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), but are produced and available from NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL).
        purpose:  Surface level ozone is a critical atmospheric species which regulates the oxidation capacity of the troposphere and acts as a strong greenhouse gas. Further, ozone has been established as a health and environmental concern. The monitoring of this pollutant allows for informed and scientific conclusions for policy and management techniques.
