IASI-METOP and MIPAS-ENVISAT data fusion

IASI-METOP and MIPAS-ENVISAT data fusion

The combination of data obtained with different sensors (data fusion) is a powerful technique that can provide target products of the best quality in terms of precision and accuracy, as well as spatial and temporal coverage and resolution. In this paper the results are presented of the data fusion of measurements of ozone vertical profile performed by two space-borne interferometers (IASI on ME...

The paper reports the assessment of CFC-11 abundances in the stratosphere obtained using MIPAS observations in the first two years of operation. The retrieval of CFC-11 abundances from the measured radiances is obtained using an approximated and fast forward model. Even if yet limited to the two year for which consolidated MIPAS data are available, the analysis provides detailed information on ...

Interactive comment on “Envisat MIPAS

The paper describes a new retrieval technique for analysing MIPAS spectra based on (a) using a spectrally-averaged radiance, effectively synthesising a filter radiometer, and (b) using a band-averaged forward model, both of which represent significant differences from the approaches used by other groups (ie using measurements at their full spectral sampling and monochromatic forward models). Th...
