The integrated ozone has been obtained by integrating the ozone
profile from the surface to the maximum altitude attained by the
sonde.  The residual ozone refers to the estimated ozone amount
above this maximum altitude.  This contribution is calculated only
when the sonde achieves an altitude equal to or greater than that
corresponding to 17 hPa.  The correction factor is the total ozone
as measured by the Brewer or Dobson divided by the
uncorrected total ozone obtained from the sonde (integrated plus
residual).  The correction factor has NOT been applied
to the profile data.  When a ground measurement was
not available, the correction factor was set to 1.000.
The wind speed in (m/s) is related to (knots) by: (1 m/s = 1.93 knots)
