This article reports on column ozone measurements made from Sodankyla, (67[degrees]N), during the winter of 1991-1992. These measurements have been made with a Brewer spectrophotometer, and a SAOZ instrument. The results are correlated with TOMS data also. A strong sensitivity to light scattering due to atmospheric aerosols has been shown. When airmass factors are adjusted into the measurements, then the measurements are better correlated between themselves.
