Oxford Retrievals of MIPAS Data Anu Dudhia University of Oxford With help from Chiara Piccolo (now UKMO), Claire Waymark, Joanne Walker, Jane Hurley and Luis Millan-Valle
MIPAS Data Availability • Jul 2002 - Mar 2004: MIPAS operated at full resolution 0.025cm-1 sampling • ESA L2 products widely distributed and validated • Jan 2005 - present: operated at 40% reduced resolution 0.0625cm-1 sampling • L1B spectra available, but routine ESA processing will not start until 2008
Oxford L2 Data • Oxford processor MORSE uses same L1B/microwindows as ESA data, but optimal estimation algorithm. • Standard ESA species p,T,H2O,O3,HNO3,CH4,N2O, NO2, plus additional molecules ClONO2, N2O5, CFC-11, CFC-12 and CO • Processed 1 day/month global coverage, preferably NOM mode, for long term trends • Since 1st June 2007 process all MIPAS L1B spectra http://www.atm.ox.ac.uk/group/mipas/L2OXF/
