Tropospheric Ozone and CO monthly mean fields from TES and GEOS-CHEM model

As part of the Level 3 prototype effort, the monthly means of ozone and CO fields are generated from TES retrieved profiles. We present these global fields for the lower and middle troposphere showing their seasonal variations and large scale structures. The monthly means of ozone and CO fields from the simulations of GEOS-CHEM model sampled at TES profile geo-locations are also generated. For a proper comparison, TES averaging kernels and a priori profiles are applied to the model profiles. Discussions on TES - model comparisons of monthly ozone and CO fields will be given.
