Search for evidence of trend slow-down in the long-term TOMS/SBUV total ozone data record: the importance of instrument drift uncertainty
We have developed a merged ozone data set (MOD) for the period October 1978 through June 2006 combining total ozone measurements (Version 8 retrieval) from the TOMS (Nimbus 7, Earth Probe) and SBUV/SBUV2 (Nimbus 7, NOAA 9/11/16) series of satellite instruments. We use the MOD data set to search for evidence of ozone recovery in response to the observed leveling off of chlorine and bromine compo...
متن کاملConsistency of time series and trends of stratospheric ozone as seen by ozonesonde, SAGE II, HALOE, and SBUV(/2)
[1] We examined the consistency of time series for stratospheric ozone obtained by ozonesondes, SAGE II, HALOE, and SBUV(/2) in the northern extratropics and find excellent agreement for interannual variability and trends of ozone for 50–12.5 hPa over Europe. Ozonesonde, SAGE, and HALOE data agree well for 200 hPa–12.5 hPa. Ozone in the past few years is 6% below values in the early 1980s for 8...
متن کاملValidation of ozone monthly zonal mean profiles obtained from the version 8.6 Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet algorithm
We present the validation of ozone profiles from a number of Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SBUV and SBUV/2) instruments that were recently reprocessed using an updated (version 8.6) algorithm. The SBUV data record spans a 41 yr period from 1970 to 2011 with a 5 yr gap in the 1970s. The ultimate goal is to create a consistent, wellcalibrated data set of ozone profiles that can be used for clima...
متن کاملMonitoring of observation errors in the assimilation of satellite ozone data
[1] Ozone observations from the Solar Backscatter UltraViolet/2 (SBUV/2) instruments and/or the Earth Probe Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (EP TOMS) have been assimilated in near-real time at NASA’s Data Assimilation Office (DAO) since January 2000. The ozone data assimilation system was used as a tool for detecting and characterizing changes in the observation errors. The forecast model capt...
متن کاملTemporal and spatial patterns of the interannual variability of total ozone in the tropics
[1] The recently constructed gridded Merged Ozone Data (MOD) set, combining the monthly mean column abundances collected by the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) and the Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SBUV and SBUV/2) instruments, provides a nearly continuous record from late 1978 to 2000 on a 5 10 latitudelongitude grid. The precision of these measurements and their calibration allow ver...
