چکیده
This paper reports on the development of Neural Network algorithms for ozone concentration profiles retrieval from ESA-Envisat SCIAMACHY measurements. We present and discuss some preliminary results obtained by training our Nets with WOUDC/SHADOZ ozonesondes data; dataset preparation and matching of SCIAMACHY level 1b data with ozonesonde measurements is here analyzed. We also show the comparisons of our retrieved concentrations with independent ozonesondes datasets and with concentrations profiles retrieved from collocated GOME measurements.

On the Role of Vis Radiation for the Ozone Information Retrieval from Sciamachy Data by Means of Neural Network Algorithms
In this paper we discuss the design, implementation and performance of two neural network algorithms, one for ozone concentration profile, and the second for tropospheric ozone column retrieval from ESA-Envisat SCIAMACHY Level 1b data. The performances of the two algorithms were checked through tests against ozone sondes measurements. Both algorithms make use of visible radiation whose role has...

This paper reports on the development of Neural Networks algorithms for tropospheric ozone retrieval from ESA-Envisat SCIAMACHY measurements. We present and discuss some retrieval experiments from UV/VIS simulated data, based upon a combined sensitivity analysis performed with the aid of the UVSPEC radiative transfer model and a neural Extended Pruning procedure. In particular, the role of UV a...
متن کاملPhD Thesis Neural networks algorithms for the estimation of atmospheric ozone from Envisat-SCIAMACHY and Aura-OMI data
Observations of ozone from satellite platform is a key source of information to monitor and understand processes that may have a relevant impact on public health, air quality and climate. To achieve at the same time a reasonable spatial resolutions and a sufficient sensitivity, nadir UV/VIS sensor may be exploited. The topic of the PhD thesis work summarized here is the use of neural networks (...
متن کاملIntercomparison of O3 profiles observed by SCIAMACHY and ground based microwave instruments
Ozone profiles retrieved from limb scattering measurements of the SCIAMACHY instrument based on the satellite ENVISAT are compared to ground-based low altitude resolution remote sensors. All profiles are retrieved using optimal estimation. Following the work of Rodgers and Connor (2003) the retrievals of the ground-based instruments are simulated using the SCIAMACHY retrieval. The SCIAMACHY res...
متن کاملImproving cloud information over deserts from SCIAMACHY Oxygen A-band measurements
The retrieval of column densities and concentration profiles of atmospheric trace gas species from satellites is sensitive to light scattered by clouds. The SCanning Imaging Absorption SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) instrument on the Envisat satellite, principally designed to retrieve trace gases in the atmosphere, is also capable of detecting clouds. FRESCO (Fast Retriev...
