Abstract
An abrupt change in ozone bias relative to several satellite sensors --a total column ozone (TCO) “dropoff” of about 2-3% –has been reported at number of ozonesonde stations (Stauffer et al., 2020), including Canadian stations. The dropoff affects stratospheric measurements from the EnSci ozonesonde, after about 2013 (approximately serial number 25000). Corrections and additional data have reduced the estimated dropoff at mostCanadian sites (Stauffer et al., 2022). The Canadian network recently switched to Science Pump sondes (after serial number 32000), and this has reversed the dropoff, and approximately restored agreement with satellite sensors.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
