Interactive comment on “ CCl 4 distribution derived from MIPAS ESA V 7 data : validation , trend and lifetime estimation ” by Massimo Valeri

چکیده
c) Comparison with ground stations: is the assumption here that the CCl4 profile is expected to be constant with altitude all the way through the troposphere? It would have been helpful to show at least a modelled CCl4 profile to support this. However, the fact that the MIPAS data have a seasonal cycle while the ground station data do not suggests that these must be different air masses, in which case there is presumably also some age difference between the air sampled by MIPAS and the surface air which could explain some of the bias.

CCl4 distribution derived from MIPAS ESA V7 data: validation, trend and lifetime estimation
Atmospheric emissions of Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) are regulated by the Montreal Protocol due to its role as a strong ozone-depleting substance. The molecule has been the subject of recent increased interest as a consequence of the so called “mystery of CCl4,” the discrepancy between atmospheric observations and reported production and consumption. Surface measurements of CCl4 atmospheric con...

Airborne in situ measurements of the trace gases CH4, N2O, CFC-11 and CFC-12 with the High Altitude Gas AnalyzeR (HAGAR) on board the M55 Geophysica aircraft and the balloon-borne cryosampler BONBON of the University of Frankfurt are compared to vertical profiles from MIPAS-ENVISAT. We validate ESA level-2 standard products (v. 4.61) and non-operational trace gas profiles of CH4, N2O, CFC-11 an...
متن کاملGeophysical validation of temperature retrieved by the ESA processor from MIPAS/ENVISAT atmospheric limb-emission measurements
The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) has been operating since March 2002 onboard of the ENVIronmental SATellite of the European Space Agency (ESA). The high resolution (0.035 cm−1 full width half maximum, unapodized) limb-emission measurements acquired by MIPAS in the first two years of operation have very good geographical and temporal coverage and have been re...

The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) is a space-borne limb viewing mid-infrared high-resolution spectrometer launched on ENVISAT into polar orbit on 1 March 2002. Water vapour and temperature profiles are retrievable from spectral data in an altitude range from approximately 5 km up to the mesosphere. Complementing the operational analysis of ESA, a non-operatio...
