| The Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imaging System (OSIRIS) was launched
aboard the Odin satellite in 2001 and is continuing to take limb-scattered
sunlight measurements of the atmosphere. This work aims to characterize and
assess the stability of the OSIRIS 11 yr v5.0x ozone data set. Three
validation data sets were used: the v2.2 Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) and v6
Global Ozone Monitoring by Occultation of Stars (GOMOS) satellite data
records, and ozonesonde measurements. Global mean percent differences
between coincident OSIRIS and validation measurements are within 5% at
all altitudes above 18.5 km for MLS, above 21.5 km for GOMOS, and above
17.5 km for ozonesondes. Below 17.5 km, OSIRIS measurements agree with
ozonesondes within 5% and are well-correlated
(R > 0.75) with them. For low OSIRIS optics temperatures
(< 16 °C), OSIRIS ozone measurements have a negative
bias of 1–6% compared with the validation data sets for 25.5–40.5 km.
Biases between OSIRIS ascending and descending node measurements were
investigated and found to be related to aerosol retrievals below 27.5 km.
Above 30 km, agreement between OSIRIS and the validation data sets was
related to the OSIRIS retrieved albedo, which measures apparent upwelling,
with a positive bias in OSIRIS data with large albedos. In order to
assess the long-term stability of OSIRIS measurements, global average drifts
relative to the validation data sets were calculated and were found to be
< 3% per decade for comparisons with MLS for
19.5–36.5 km, GOMOS for 18.5–54.5 km, and ozonesondes for
12.5–22.5 km. Above 36.5 km, the relative drift for OSIRIS versus MLS
ranged from ~ 0 to 6% per decade, depending on the data set used to convert MLS
data to the OSIRIS altitude versus number density grid. Overall, this work
demonstrates that the OSIRIS 11 yr ozone data set from 2001 to the present
is suitable for trend studies. |
