Ozone total column (OTC) measurements made in 2009–2012 near St. Petersburg by a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer (Peterhof, St. Petersburg State University (SPbSU)), an M124
filter ozonometer, and a Dobson spectrophotometer (Voeikovo, MGO), as well as measurements made by
a spectrometer ozone monitoring instrument (OMI) (onboard the AURA satellite) have been analyzed and
compared. Comparisons have been performed both between ensembles of groundbased measurement
data, as well as between groundbased and satellite data. It has been shown that the standard deviation for all devices is 2.5–4.5%; here, the FTIR and Dobson instruments measuring the direct sun are in better agreement with OMI than the M124 ozonometer measuring the zenithscattered solar radiation as well. A seasonal cycle in discrepancy with amplitude of 1.5% has been detected between two series of OTC measurements made by M124 and OMI instruments for a total of 850 days. In fall and winter, the ground-based measurements underestimate t
