Tropospheric Ozone Satellite Data

Both the gmi simulation and satellite measured tropospheric ozone during the latter aura time pe riod show increases of c3dudecade1 over the n at lantic and ne pacific.

Tropospheric ozone satellite data.

A method for determining the amount of ozone in the tropical troposphere from concurrent sets of satellite data is presented. The merra 2 reanalysis provides a climate data record of global meteorological and ozone fields from 1980 to present. This prodedure is applied only in the tropics and the results indicate that a significant longitudinal gradient is present at low latitudes and that the highest amounts of tropospheric ozone are located west i e downwind of africa and south america. A link to a new ozone profile product from gmao assimilation has been added below.

The gmi simulation and satellite data also reveal a tropospheric ozone increases in 4 to 5 du for the 38 year record over central africa and the tropical atlantic ocean. Please address jerry ziemke jerald r ziemke nasa gov involving problems or specific questions about the datasets. The merra 2 ozone observing system is relatively simple with sbuv data assimilated between 1980 and 2004 and aura observations omi and microwave limb sounder mls used afterward. 1 introduction over the last several decades.

The original monthly mean clear sky measurements ziemke et al 2006 are still being provided and updated. The gmi simulation and satellite data also reveal a tropospheric ozone increases in c4 to c5du for the 38 year record over central africa and the tropi cal atlantic ocean.
