A mass spectrometer beam experiment and a UV absorption instrument (modified Dasibi instrument) have simultaneously measured ozone mixing ratios in the stratosphere (20‐40 km). Both experiments were independently calibrated using absolute standards. The ozone profiles obtained during three balloon descents are in excellent agreement; fine structures are resolved by both experiments. The RMS uncertainty in ozone mixing ratios is about 3% for either instrument.
