Spectral Aliassing • I. “Bad Case Scenario” • R. De Beek, M. Weber, R. Siddans (RAL), B. Latter (RAL) • all albedo sequences were analysed to identify worst case scenario from LANDSAT/artificial albedo perturbation provided by RAL • worst case scenario was defined by maximum variance of differential albedo error spectra • definition of differential albedo error spectra: • I() – P() = Wa()(a()/a) – P() • I() relative intensity perturbation due to albedo variation • P() fitted quadratic (cubic) polynomial • Wa() albedo weighting function (SCIATRAN) • a() albedo sequence with mean albedo subtracted • a mean albedo of sequence

Preliminary Conclusion for IT=0.1875ms and readout of 46ms: • errors on the order of less than 0.1% (O3), 80% (NO2), 11% (BrO), 5% (ozone hole OClO) have been observed for albedo variations of less than 0.04 (very small albedo variations!) • spatial aliassing equivalent noise isa dominant error source for current IT and readout time settings • larger albedo variations leads to variability of reference slant column and air mass factor (additional error source). DOAS assumes unique slant column within the window • fits will be repeated for intensities with proper mean albedo (a=0.46 and a=0.5) • additional case studies and error checking on current approach is planned.
