Analysis of L1b files with restituted attitude Bianca M. Dinelli E. Papandrea
L1b files with pointing information coming from the satellite restituted attitude have been provided • The spectra contained in the L1b files previously delivered are compared with the new ones • Examined orbits: • 12963 (Reduced Resolution) • 10600 (Full Resolution)
12963 (RR 17 limb views per scan) Old: MIP_NL__1PTETB20040822_163350_000055582029_00384_12963_0000.N1 New: MIP_NL__1P_12963-RES_ATT.04822
Orbit 10600 of 10/3/2004 • full resolution (0.025cm-1) • 17 sweep per scan • Old: tangent points information as in the L1b file delivered via tape • New:tangent points information coming from satellite restituted attitude
L1B files of Orbit 10600 • Old: MIP_NL__1PPDPA20040310_144033_000038662025_00025_10600_2930.N1 • New: MIP_NL__1P_10600-RES_ATT.040310
GMTR analysis • The spectra of the two L1-b files have been analyzed with the GMTR system • Pressure, Temperature O3 and H2O VMR have been simultaneously retrieved • Retrieval performed at the nominal altitudes of the Occupation Matrix (same in the two analyses) • Note that pointing is NOT retrieved (LOS as in L1-b files)
GMTR analysis -test evolution Old: -test = 504 - 20.06 - 2.34 - 2.13 - 2.11 New: - test = 542 - 20.06 - 3.46 - 2.40 - 2.46 BUT: some sweeps in the new file are flagged as corrupted while previously they were fine

Conclusions • L1b spectra differences > noise • Forward and Reverse sweeps show different behavior • New tangent point locations lower than previous ones • New algorithm flags corrupted apparently good sweeps • New retrieved profiles smoother that before
