Near-real time delivery of GOME ozone profiles

چکیده
In the framework of the ESA-DUP project GOFAP [1] the delivery of GOME ozone products in near-real time (NRT) to users has been accomplished. Since 1998 NRT ozone columns [2] are available through the KNMI website and since the beginning of 2000 they are accompanied by NRT stratospheric ozone profiles. Numerical weather prediction is expected to benefit from assimilation of stratospheric ozone profiles, if they are retrieved within 3 to 6 hours after observation. This requires a fast retrieval algorithm and a near-real time availability of the spectra. In this paper it is demonstrated that operational near-real time ozone profile retrieval for the use in weather forecast models is feasible.

Earthshine spectra measured by the nadir-viewing Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) spectrometer aboard the second European Remote Sensing (ERS-2) Satellite in the range of 240-790 nm are widely used for the retrieval of concentrations and vertical profiles of atmospheric trace gases. For the near-real-time delivery of ozone columns and profiles at the Royal Netherlands Meterological Ins...
متن کاملGome Ozone Data Assimilation and the Ozone Mini-hole of 30 November 1999
Ozone transport models driven by high-quality analysed meteorological wind fields have been demonstrated to produce realistic ozone distributions. We describe a data assimilation system (TM3-DAM, version 3) which is currently in use to assimilate near-real time GOME ozone data, and which produces (three-day or longer) ozone forecasts. The model is a tracer transport model, called TM3, with a pa...
متن کاملReal-time Total Ozone and Ozone Profiles Retrieved from Gome Data Using Neural Networks∗
A new approach for retrieving total ozone from ERS2-GOME spectral data has been developed, which relies on feed-forward neural networks to perform the data inversion. Using selected GOME wavelength regions, instrument and geolocation data as an input, networks have been trained to determine atmospheric ozone in a one-step procedure. In order to train a neural network, an extensive database of c...
متن کاملAssimilation of 3D Ozone field in Global Chemistry Transport Models Near Real Time Approach
In this paper, data assimilation approach for the estimation of the 3 dimensional global ozone distribution based on the global transport model TM3 is presented. TM3 uses the meteorological data from ECMWF (European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) to transport the 3D ozone field and includes simplified chemistry scheme. The retrieved ozone profiles used in the assimilation are produc...
متن کاملTropospheric Oh Primary Production from Ers-2 Data
In order to calculate the OH primary production rate from satellite measurements, one has to estimate the following quantities: profile of the photodissociation rate of ozone to O(D), tropospheric ozone profile and tropospheric water vapour profile. The estimation of tropospheric OH primary production rate from ERS-2 data is demonstrated. The tropospheric ozone profiles retrieved at the Rutherf...
