  1. The 7-th Meeting of Ozone Research Managers for the Vienna Convention Systematic Ozone Observations Introduction to the Session 6 No satellite issues as discussed yesterday Karel Vanicek Czech Hydrometeorological Institute WMO – SAG Ozone 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K. Vanicek, CHMI

  2. Current Observation Systems Details in the prevous sessions Ground infrastructure - The backbone networks(GAW & NDACC) - Complementary missions(SHADOS, airborn, big-baloon platforms) - Joint technological facilities(calibration and DQ/QA centres) Satellite missions - Number of platforms(NASA, NOAA, ESA, EUMETSAT, …) - Evaluation teams(TOMS, GOME, SCIAMACVHY, OMI, … ) - Data access(NASA, KNMI, DLR, UB, … ) Integration - Umbrellas (IGACO, GCOS, WMO/CEOS) - Advisory (SAG Ozone, SAG-UV) - Assimilated products (O3 & UV mapping) 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K. Vanicek, CHMI

  3. What we have & What we need ? Systematic observations => => Systematic deposition to data bases Inventory of the ground observation networks Technologies – the current state and challenges The GAW/IGACO/NDACC Meeting on Measurements of Strat. OzoneWMO, Geneva, 21-23 April, 2008, 26 experts, 23 agencies 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K. Vanicek, CHMI

  4. ~ 40 UV platforms in 2000-2005 UV spectral observations only 279ozone platforms in 1955-2007 167 platforms active in 2000-2007 All ozone data (total & profiles) Conclusions - Coordinated UV networks in US, CD, EU,JP - HQ spectral UV data in the EUVDB restricted - Erythemal UV in regional networks Conclusions - Geograph.imbalance (NH 80%, SH 20%) - ~40% reductionin the recent decades Ground ozone & UV observation capacity ~ 30 platforms in the EUVDB-FMI 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K. Vanicek, CHMI

  5. Vertical profiles 62Ozone sonde, 24 Umkehr (Dobson) platforms active in 2000-2005 Total Ozone 78 Dobson,72 Brewer,31 Filterplatforms active in 2000-2005 • Conclusions - No Brewers and Dobsons in Central Asia • Instrumental geographical imbalance • ~ 50% of the platforms need data re-evaluation(FioletovJGR, 2008) Conclusions - A few sonde stations in SH and Central Asia - Tropics covered mainly by SHADOZ (11 sites) - Brewer Umkehrs taken but not processed Ground ozone observation networks 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K. Vanicek, CHMI

  6. Dobson versus Brewer observations Seasonal D-B differences (~ 0-3%) in NH mid-latitudes – expected also in SH-ML & HL Differences between simultaneous Dobson and Brewer observations at Arosa (J. Staehelin & B. Scarnato) Conclusions - Differences attributed mostly to temperature sensitivity of ozone cross sections - Differences reduced to 1% by TOeff corr.but residual stray-light effects persist - Impacts on validation of satellites and seasonal trends of D/B merged data series Actual ChallengesThe GAW/IGACO/NDACC Meeting on Measurements of Strat. OzoneWMO, Geneva, 21-23 April, 2008, 26 experts, 23 agencies 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K. Vanicek, CHMI

  7. Dobson & Brewer versus satellites Differences(shifts&seasonality) between ground D&B satellite observations Conclusions - D-B differences affect ground-satellite relations - Influence of different satellite algorithms and O3 cross sections 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K. Vanicek, CHMI

  8. Ground & satellites in high latitudesthe SAUNA experiment • Simultaneous ozone (Dobson, Brewer, DOAS, sonde) observations in high latitudes • Sodankyla Observatory, FMI-ARC (67°N), SAUNA-1 (2006), SAUNA-2 (2007) • Main goals: • Absolute accuracy of ground instrumentsat high SZAs and TOZ values? • Algorithms and instruments for ~1% accuracy of observations of TOZ? • Nature of particular differences between ground and satellites? Conclusions - Atmospheric and instrumental stray light effects – can be corrected by a model - Calibration and stray light issues to be further investigated in 2008-2012 - Activities coordinated by the RBCC-E Izana and co-funded by ESA and NASA 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K. Vanicek, CHMI

  9. Ozone sondes - JOSIE & BESOS campaigns → SOPs for ECCs - SOP‘s →better accuracy by a factor of 2 - „QA & QC for Ozone Sonde Measurements in GAW“ publ. in 2008 to be implemented in the network - JOSIE campaigns to continue at the WCCOS Juelich LIDARs - Routine or experimental operation at 15 NDACC sites - Instruments and data analysis methods evaluated - Intercomparisons of instruments and algorithms - Further investigations → cross sections, resolution, methods of ICs Ozone profiles by different ground techniques Umkehrs - New UMK-04 algorithm → freeware available - High observation potential at Brewer stations - Further improvements - elimination of stray light effects 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K. Vanicek, CHMI

  10. Inlet tubes Instrumentation in Avionic Bay below the cockpit O3/CO/H2O/NOy/DAS Ozone profiles by aircrafts - A European Research Infrastructure (MOZAIC, IAGOS) - > 20 000 flights since 1994 for O3, H2O, CO, NOy - Instruments on 5 commercial aircrafts operated Conclusions - > 20 000 flights since 1994 for O3, H2O, CO, NOy - Integration of Aircraft measurements into IGACO - From projects to sustainable Earth observations (GMES) 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K. Vanicek, CHMI

  11. The BIRA-IASB MAXDOAS the SAUNA contributor The INTA MAX-DOAS at the Izana Observatory • New instrumentation • UV-VIS Diff. Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) • Absorption lines in the UV and Visible part of the solar spectrum • Total columns of more species (O3, NO2, H2O, BrO, …) • About 28 devices (prototypes) operated mostly at the NDACC sites • The SAOZ instruments are routinely operated • New MAX-DOAS (BIRA-IASB and INTA) tested with good results towards B&D 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K.

Vanicek, CHMI

  14. Key topics for the suggestions Maintenance of networksPriority to be given to the tropics and Central Asia → Capacity Building Compatibility of dataComparison of different instruments and algorythms → Research Needs Re-evaluation of problematic data recorTechnological workshop followed by re-processing - suggested yesterday Observation techniques for high latitudesCalibration and stray light issues to be further investigated including special missions (SAUNA 2006/2007 Integration of new instrumentation (UV-VIS, FTIR.

  15. Key topics for the suggestions Spectroscopic standardsStandardization of cross sections for ozone and related speciesin (UV → IR) → Research Needs Coordination of existing infrastructuresGAW, NDACC→IGACO, GCOS, CEOS, GAW Strategic Plan Global UV monitoring system- International calibration infrastructure to be created, - Observations not restricted and widely deposited into WOUDC - Public information services further implemented 7ORM, Geneva, 2008 K.
