Short summary

In this study, we identify 23 suitable pairs of sites from World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre (WOUDC) and In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System (IAGOS) datasets (1995 to 2021), compare the average vertical distributions of tropospheric O₃ from ozonesonde and aircraft measurements, and analyze the differences based on ozonesonde type and station–airport distance.
