Ozoneprofile retrievalfrom limbscattermeasurements inthe HARTLEYbands:further retrievaldetails andprofile comparisons

[摘要] SCIAMACHY limbscatter radiance measurementsat selectedwavelengths in theHARTLEY bands havebeen used toretrieve ozoneprofiles in the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere.Comparisons with profiles measured by a ground based radiometer in Norway,MIPAS on board ENVISAT, HALOE on UARS and MLSon AURA indicate an agreement within 15% between 40 and 55 kmand showthat the retrievalprovides reliable ozone profilesat these altitudes.Above 55 km, an increasingoverestimation isobserved. Beside the profile comparisons, further retrieval features of the current retrieval (version 1.26) are described.
