Zusammenfassung |
This paper discusses the smoothness of vertical profiles of ozone
concentrations. We describe the smoothness of ozone profiles via a
characteristic scale of the profile fluctuations. The characteristic scale
was computed for 11-years (1989-1999) ozone sonde data at Sodankylä. Mean
values of the characteristic scale were determined. They are ~1km in
the troposphere and ~1.4km in the lower stratosphere (up to 25km).
Only slight seasonal variations of these parameters are observed.
The information about smoothness of ozone profiles is needed both in the
instrumental design for defining the vertical resolution requirements and in
the development of inversion algorithms from remote sensing measurements, in
order to obtain the best accuracy in retrieved ozone profiles and sufficient
resolution. |
