چکیده
Response on the general comments of the reviewer: I agree with the reviewer in terms of the phrasing.. The article is now proof-read and hopefully better readable. I added a description of the TRUE algorithm for completeness and reorganized the text and make a proof-read, basically we made a major revision of the paper. The usage of the TRUE tangent height retrieval LUT instead of another is due to the fact that it is still not clear which tangent height retrieval is basically the best. Photochemical properties of mesospheric ozone is in fact a point which are now discussed in the validation section, as well as the possible connection to the overestimation of the SCIAMACHY ozone

متن کاملLimb scatter ozone retrieval from 10 to 60 km using a Multiplicative Algebraic Reconstruction Technique
The OSIRIS instrument onboard the Odin spacecraft routinely measures vertical profiles of spectrally dispersed, limb scattered sunlight from the upper troposphere into the lower mesosphere. These measurements are used to retrieve the ozone number density vertical profile over the altitude range from 10 to 60 km using the SaskMART 5 Multiplicative Algebraic Reconstruction Technique, which is a o...
متن کاملThe Godfit (gome Direct Fitting) Algorithm: a New Approach for Total Column Retrieval
We present a new direct fitting algorithm for retrieval of total column amounts from remote sensing UV/visible spectrometers. The GODFIT algorithm for GOME total ozone makes a single fit for the vertical column; there is no DOAS slant-column fitting and AMF conversion. GODFIT relies on a 1-1 column-profile map for ozone; all forward model simulations are done from scratch using the LIDORT linea...
متن کاملTropospheric Ozone Profile Retrievals from an Airborne Ultra- violet/Visible Spectrometer
We present a novel technique to retrieve ozone profiles, and especially, tropospheric ozone (O3) from airborne Ultraviolet-Visible (UV) spectrometer measurements. The profile retrieval is possible by viewing a variety of zenith angles from down-looking and up-looking directions, taking advantage of O3 absorption in the Huggins (300-340 nm) and the Chappuis bands (530-650 nm). Measurements are n...
