The article discusses the ozone databases formulated to evaluate and restrain simulations of global climate. It mentions that calculation of the monthly mean ozone became possible through collaboration of global ozonesonde network with the ozone measurements from eight satellites. It mentions that the gap-free database for global climate model simulations is reliable in determining ozone boundary.
