چکیده
Abstract. This study presents a new total column ozone (TCO) retrieval from the Koherent system, developed at Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium Davos, World Radiation Center (PMOD/WRC). The instrument is based on small, cost-effective, robust, low-maintenance and state-of-the-art-technology array spectroradiometer. It consists of BTS-2048-UV-S-F spectroradiometer Gigahertz-Optik GmbH, coupled with an optical fibre to lens-based telescope mounted sun tracker for measuring direct UV irradiance in ultraviolet wavelength band between 305 345 nm. Two different algorithms are retrieving TCO these spectral measurements: (1) retrieved by least-squares-fit algorithm (LSF) (2) custom-double-ratio (CDR) technique using four specifically selected wavelengths measurements. double-ratio analogous applied Dobson instruments Brewer but adopted here Koherent. was calibrated two ways: (a) absolute calibration spectra portable reference radiation QASUME LSF (b) relative extraterrestrial constant (ETC) CDR minimising slope air mass differences adjustment ETC allows be standard during campaigns, such as double-monochromator Brewer.

We used a microcomputer-controlled total ozone portable spectroradiometer instrument #21 (MTOPS21) to measure solar radiation at 298, 304 and 310 nm in Greenbelt, Md., during 1995. One day's ozone measurements from a Brewer instrument (B105) were used to calibrate the 304- and 310-nm channel ratios to a theoretical model. Total ozone estimates were then determined for the entire MTOPS21 data se...
متن کاملEstimation of ozone with total ozone portable spectroradiometer instruments. I. Theoretical model and error analysis.
Inexpensive devices to measure solar UV irradiance are available to monitor atmospheric ozone, for example, total ozone portable spectroradiometers (TOPS instruments). A procedure to convert these measurements into ozone estimates is examined. For well-characterized filters with 7-nm FWHM bandpasses, the method provides ozone values (from 304- and 310-nm channels) with less than 0.4% error attr...
متن کاملSpatial variation of total column ozone on a global scale
The spatial dependence of total column ozone varies strongly with latitude, so that homogeneous models (invariant to all rotations) are clearly unsuitable. However, an assumption of axial symmetry, which means that the process model is invariant to rotations about the Earth’s axis, is much more plausible and considerably simplifies the modeling. Using TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer) mea...

[1] On 15 July 2004, the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on board the EOS Aura mission was launched. One of OMI’s priorities is to continue the record of high spatial resolution ozone total column measurements provided by the various Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instruments since 1978. To this end, it is essential to estimate the errors affecting OMI ozone total column measurements...
