We present the results of extensive validation program of Version V5R_O3_220 of ozone vertical profiles retrieved with IMK/IAA MIPAS scientific level 2 processor from version 5 of spectral Level 1 files provided by ESA. The time period covered corresponds to Reduced Resolution period of MIPAS instrument, i.e. January 2005-present. The comparison with satellite instruments includes ACE-FTS, MLS, GOMOS, SCIAMACHY, OSIRIS, HALOE and POAM. The comparison with ground-based instruments includes 5 stations from SHADOZ Network and LIDAR from NDACC network. Also, the comparison with Mark IV balloon measurements is presented. For each reference dataset, bias determination and precision validation are performed.
