Search for OClO signatures from Odin limb radiance measurements using DOAS technique P.Krecl, J.Stegman, C.S.Haley, C.E.Sioris, D.P.Murtagh, S.Brohede, E.J.Llewellyn and the Odin Team Limb Workshop, Bremen
DOAS parameters applied: O3 223K Voigt et al NO2 223K Voigt et al OClO 233K Kromminga et al BrO 223K Fleishman et al Ring 250K Chance et al Rayleigh Witt et al Reference spectrum: 63 co-added spectra TH>55km Spectral range: 348 – 382 nm, hw1e 0.48 nm Box-car smoothing: 25-pixel width Orbits: 2175 (Sept 16, 2002) and 2226 (Oct 1, 2002) Limb Workshop, Bremen
Conclusions and outlook • Clear signatures of OClO found • But only qualitative results – ongoing work • Further optimisiation of DOAS algorithm still needed • Broad versus narrow spectral region? Limb Workshop, Bremen
Toward validation of DOAS ozone retrievals in the UV-Vis region B. Karlsson, P.Krecl, J.Gumbel, J.Stegman, I.McDade,C.S.Haley Limb Workshop, Bremen
Approach: • Retrieved ozone profiles (and sza, ssa) plugged in a FM to obtain limb spectra • Two FM compared: differences <5% • Slant column densities in DOAS sense retrieved • Apparent slant column densities compared Limb Workshop, Bremen
Summary • Ozone DOAS retrievals 20-30% lower than the present Flittner product • Higher discrepancy for high ozone • No clear correlation with albedo, sza, • Sensitivity to the short wavelength limit of the fitting range Limb Workshop, Bremen
Outlook • Investigate sensitivity to the choice of reference spectrum • Further optimise the fitting range • ….whatever more we learn here! Limb Workshop, Bremen
