| Zusammenfassung |
| In this paper, we present the first global comparisons between the two unique
satellite-borne data sets of nitrogen trioxide (NO3) vertical profiles
retrieved from the GOMOS (Global Ozone Monitoring by the Occultation of
Stars) stellar occultations and the SAGE III (Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas
Experiment) lunar occultations. The comparison results indicate that between
the altitudes 25 km and 45 km the median difference between these two data
sets is within ± 25%. The study of zonal median profiles shows that
the climatologies calculated from GOMOS and SAGE III profiles are comparable
and represent the same features in all latitude bands. No clear systematic
differences are observed. The median profiles are closest in the tropics and
slightly deviating at high latitudes. |
