Presentation Transcript

  1. Topics • MWs Joint Retrieval of pT, H2O, O3 without CO2MIX as a source of systematic error; MWs Joint Retrieval of pT, H2O, O3, CO2 to improve p and CO2 sensitivity (pT, CO2 not good as their features are not well separated). • Minor species: H2O2 retrieval as an example of specie not yet retrieved.

  2. PT, H2O, O3Spectral Range: 685 – 825 cm-1 Q – branches of CO2 CO2 line – mixing model has been integrated in the MTR code, these MWs have been sel. to test it

  3. PT, H2O, O3, CO2Spectral Range: all bands

  4. We are looking if it is possible to improve CO2 accuracy.

  5. Short lifetime H2O2 • H2O2 is important as a sink of OH which plays an important role in atmosphere chemistry (OH reacts with CO and CH4) • Lifetime OH about 10 seconds Lifetime H2O2 about 1 day • H2O2 is created by O3 • OH + O3 HO2 + O2 • HO2 + HO2H2O2 + O2

  6. H2O2Spectral Range: Band B

  7. Retrieval can be performed in troposphere – stratosphere regions but not in mesosphere

  8. Example of a real H2O2 retrieval • ORBIT 2081 24 JUL 2002 No data scan 0, 58,59 • Max at 10 mb in eq. regions • PSC in south pole Blue and red colors = good retrieval

  9. Comparison retrieved - Slimcat • ORBIT 2081 (from north pole to south pole, day time) • Good agreement retrieved and Slimcat model for the Max at 10 mb in eq. regions and minimum below • We don’t see the equatorial peak at 200 mb and Slimcat peak is larger

  10. ORBIT 2081 • Where ozone has a peak also H2O2 has a peak and where ozone has a minimum again H2O2 has a minimum

  11. Conclusions • New MWs set for joint retrieval pT H2O, O3 without CO2 error component (to be tested with geofit + line mixing model). • New MWs set for joint retrieval pT H2O, O3, CO2. • H2O2 can be retrieved with MIPAS data.
