GOME vs. GEOS-CHEMPoor correlation: central America, equatorial remote Pacific, tropical North Africa and Atlantic, North high latitudes
Large positive bias of 6-12 DU: central America, tropical North Africa, Southeast Asia
Comparisons with MOZAIC/ozonesonde:use the same tropopause and surface pressure with correction

SummaryThe overall structures in Tropospheric Column Ozone (TCO) are similar: wave-1 pattern in the tropics and nearly zonally-bands of high TCO at ~30ºN/S. The seasonality is similar at most regions.
GEOS-CHEM TCO is higher than GOME TCO by ~6-12 DU at some tropical regions (e.g., central America, North Africa and North Atlantic, and southeast Asia). Poor correlation occurs at some tropical regions and northern high-latitudes.
Comparisons with MOZAIC and ozonesonde observations show that most of the positive biases over central America and Southeast Asia are from GOES-CHEM TCO except at Paramaribo and Delhi.
GEOS-CHEM better captures the seasonality at North Africa, Dubai, northern Europe, and slightly better at southeast Asia.
