Validation of AIRS Version 5 ozone
Abstract
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), currently on the EOS-Aqua satellite, retrieves ozone column and profile information from nadir viewing of IR emittance. We present validation of the Version 5 observations of ozone columns and profiles using coincident ozonesondes and other satellite-based observations. In particular, we utilize vertical averaging kernels now provided with AIRS Version 5 results, and compare AIRS results under different cloud conditions.
