Zusammenfassung |
An ensemble of space-borne and ground-based instruments has been used to
evaluate the quality of the version 2.2 temperature retrievals from the
Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS).
The agreement of ACE-FTS temperatures with other sensors is typically better
than 2 K in the stratosphere and upper troposphere and 5 K in the lower
mesosphere. There is evidence of a systematic high bias (roughly 3–6 K) in
the ACE-FTS temperatures in the mesosphere, and a possible systematic low
bias (roughly 2 K) in ACE-FTS temperatures near 23 km. Some ACE-FTS
temperature profiles exhibit unphysical oscillations, a problem fixed in
preliminary comparisons with temperatures derived using the next version of
the ACE-FTS retrieval software. Though these relatively large oscillations in
temperature can be on the order of 10 K in the mesosphere, retrieved volume
mixing ratio profiles typically vary by less than a percent or so.
Statistical comparisons suggest these oscillations occur in about 10% of the
retrieved profiles. Analysis from a set of coincident lidar measurements
suggests that the random error in ACE-FTS version 2.2 temperatures has a
lower limit of about ±2 K. |
