Attention! OzoneSonde Data Caveat!
==================================

- A number of global ozonesonde stations report a sharp "drop-off" in
  stratospheric & total column ozone (TCO) after ~2013-14

- 17 stations exhibit a 2-8% "drop-off" in total ozone beginning 2013-2016,
  depending on the station. This list is not necessarily comprehensive. More
  information will be posted as it becomes available

- The drop-off appears to be an instrument artifact, not easily understood,
  that ozonesonde PIs are investigating. Updates will be posted here

- STATUS SUMMARY: Recently re-evaluated data [Tarasick et al., 2016; Van Malderen et al., 2016; Thompson et al., 2017; 2019; Sterling et al., 2018; Witte et al., 2017; 2018; 2019], are recommended for model comparisons, climatology, satellite comparisons. For the "Affected" stations (listed in Table), data above 40 hPa are not recommended for calculation of trends after the onset of "TCO drop".
