The Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) produces precise measurements of the column av- erage dry-air mole fractions of CO2, CO, CH4, N2O and H2O at a variety of sites worldwide. These observations rely on spectroscopic parameters that are not known with suffi- cient accuracy to compute total columns that can be used in combination with in situ measurements. The TCCON must therefore be calibrated to World Meteorological Orga- nization (WMO) in situ trace gas measurement scales. We present a calibration of TCCON data using WMO-scale in- strumentation aboard aircraft that measured profiles over four TCCON stations during 2008 and 2009. These calibrations are compared with similar observations made in 2004 and 2006. The results indicate that a single, global calibration factor for each gas accurately captures the TCCON total col- umn data within error.
