| Zusammenfassung |
| The performances of satellite and sondes ozone measuring instruments
available in the tropics between 10 and 26 km during the southern hemisphere
summer in 2003 and 2004, have been investigated by comparison with series of
profiles obtained by solar occultation in the visible Chappuis bands using a
SAOZ UV-Vis spectrometer carried by long duration balloons. When compared to
SAOZ, systematic positive or negative altitude shifts are observed in the
satellite profiles, varying from <50 m for the GOMOS v6.0b stellar
occultation instrument, followed by +100/200 m for solar occultation systems
(SAGE II v6.2, HALOE v19 above 22 km), but as large as −900 m for the
OSIRIS limb viewing system. The ozone relative biases are generally limited,
between −4% and +4%, for measurements in the visible Chappuis bands
(SAGE II and SAGE III moon v3, GOMOS above 22 km and OSIRIS), the near IR
(HALOE above 22 km) and the ozonesondes, but increase to +5.5%
(SCIAMACHY IUP v1.63) though still in the visible, and +7% in the mid-IR
(MIPAS NL v4.61) and the submillimetric range (SMR v222). Regarding
precision, evaluated statistically from the zonal variability of ozone
concentration, the best measurements are found to be those of SAGE II (2%),
followed by HALOE above 22 km (3–4%), then the ozonesondes, SAGE
III moon, SCIAMACHY and OSIRIS (4–5%), GOMOS above 22 km (~6%),
MIPAS (8.5%) and finally SMR (16%). Overall, all satellite
ozone measurements appear to be of little utility in the tropical
troposphere except those of SAGE II (and eventually SAGE III), though low
biased by 50% and of limited (50%) precision. |
