Zusammenfassung |
We present the results from an 8-year tropospheric chemistry
reanalysis for the period 2005–2012 obtained by assimilating
multiple data sets from the OMI, MLS, TES, and MOPITT
satellite instruments. The reanalysis calculation was conducted
using a global chemical transport model and an ensemble Kalman
filter technique that simultaneously optimises the chemical
concentrations of various species and emissions of several
precursors. The optimisation of both the concentration and the
emission fields is an efficient method to correct the entire
tropospheric profile and its year-to-year variations, and to adjust
various tracers chemically linked to the species
assimilated. Comparisons against independent aircraft, satellite,
and ozonesonde observations demonstrate the quality of the analysed
O3, NO2, and CO concentrations on regional
and global scales and for both seasonal and year-to-year variations
from the lower troposphere to the lower stratosphere. The data
assimilation statistics imply persistent reduction of model error
and improved representation of emission variability, but they also show
that discontinuities in the availability of the measurements lead to
a degradation of the reanalysis. The decrease in the number of
assimilated measurements increased the ozonesonde-minus-analysis
difference after 2010 and caused spurious variations in the
estimated emissions. The Northern/Southern Hemisphere OH
ratio was modified considerably due to the multiple-species
assimilation and became closer to an observational estimate, which
played an important role in propagating observational information
among various chemical fields and affected the emission
estimates. The consistent concentration and emission products
provide unique information on year-to-year variations in the
atmospheric environment. |
