Validation of GOME Total Ozone Retrieval using the TIDAS (Temperature Independent Differential Absorption Spectroscopy) and SAMF (Simplified Atmospheric air Mass Factor) Techniques
Abstract
The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) is an instrument on board the ESA ERS-2 satellite and has been working continuously since April 1995. GOME measurements cover continuously the wavelength range from 240 to 790 nm with a spectral resolution of 0.2 to 0.4 nm. A fast and robust algorithm (TIDAS and SAMF) was developed for the retrieval of GOME vertical ozone column data by making maximum use of these instrument features. The intercomparison to other GOME total ozone retrieval algorithms (GOME Data Processor version 2.7 and 3.0), to total ozone measurements from another instrument (TOMS) and to total ozone ground-based measurements are presented at this Symposium.
