Six years of total ozone data derived from the SBUV instrument on Nimbus 7 are compared with results from 41 Dobson stations. Results indicate that the SBUV measurements have drifted against the Dobson stations with a roughly linear trend of .38% ± .13% per year. Several possible reasons for this relative drift are discussed.
