Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III on the International Space Station(SAGE III/ISS) Science Data Ozone Product Validation: The First Year
Abstract
The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument, installed on the International Space Station (ISS), has completed its first year of data collection and production of science data products. The SAGE III/ISS is a solar and lunar occultation instrument, scanning the light from the sun and moon, through the limb (edge) of the Earth's atmosphere. It was launched in February 2017, almost 38 years from the day that the first instrument, SAGE I, was launched. It continues a legacy of long-term ozone, water vapor, and aerosol profile measurements and extends SAGE's lengthy record of monitoring ozone trends. This poster shows the preliminary validation results of comparing SAGE III/ISS ozone vertical profiles with those of mission funded ozonesondes, associated LIDAR, and comparisons with correlative data.
