| Zusammenfassung |
| The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) launched in April 1995 measures
the sunlight back scattered by the surface in nadir viewing mode (240-790 nm) to
detect O3, NO2, BrO, OClO, HCHO and SO2. SCIAMACHY (Scanning Imaging
Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric ChartographY) launched in March 2002
measures sunlight, transmitted, reflected and scattered by the earth atmosphere or
surface (240 nm - 2380 nm). SCIAMACHY measurements yield the amounts and
distribution of O3, BrO, OClO, ClO, SO2, H2CO, NO2, CO, CO2, CH4, H2O, N2O,
p, T, aerosol, radiation, cloud cover and cloud top height in limb as well as nadir
mode.
In this study data for the time period of 1998-2008 is used for the determination of
tropospheric O3. Comparisons of the results of the retrieval of tropospheric O3 using satellite
based data and sonde profiles will be shown for the tropical SHADOZ (Southern Hemisphere
Additional Ozonesondes) stations Irene and La Reunion. The main focus of this study will be
the analysis of transport processes from Irene or/and Madagascar to La Reunion during
biomass burning events. |
