Progress at RAL on Envisat Cal/Val Project AO1204 Preliminary MIPAS Intercomparisons: L1B in operational microwindows with calculations using ECMWF T, H2O & O3 L2 H2O and O3 with ECMWF and with RAL GOME O3 profiles Preliminary SCIAMACHY L1B Intercomparisons: Direct-sun spectrum with GOME Sun-normalised radiance spectra in uv/vis with GOME Spectrally-integrated sun-normalised radiances with AATSR 550, 670, 870nm & 1.6mm Outline

Comparisons of MIPAS L2 O3 & H2O ECMWF data for 24/07/02 interpolated to MIPAS L2 grid ECMWF H2O blended with climatology in stratosphere Individual profiles and orbit cross-sections compared Structures in cross-sections broadly similar in stratosphere O3 MIPAS generally higher than ECMWF in stratosphere (by 1-2 ppmv) MIPAS affected by PSCs near S.Pole in stratosphere MIPAS (too) high in equatorial upper troposphere (due to cloud) H2O MIPAS generally higher in stratosphere (~several ppmv) MIPAS (too) high near S.Pole in stratosphere (due to PSCs?)

Summary of Preliminary Findings MIPAS L1 Example L1 spectra consistent with calculations in O3 & H2O mw’s Registration of tangent-point pressures crucial, but difficult to assess MIPAS L2 O3 and H2O Stratospheric O3 and H2O x-sections quite consistent with ECMWF Stratospheric O3 consistent with GOME (10% for 20-36km at mid-lat); vertical structure smoother than anticipated cf GOME (vert res 4-6km) SCIAMACHY L1 Sun-normalised radiances significantly lower than GOME: ~10-25% in uv (Bands 1 & 2) ~5-20% in vis (Bands 3 & 4)
Planned Further Work on MIPAS & SCIA Cal/Val Assess MIPAS L1 tangent-pressure registration Extend comparison of MIPAS L2 with GOME O3 profiles Comparisons of MIPAS L2 O3 & H2O with other schemes (AMIL2DA) Extend comparison of SCIA-nadir L1 with GOME Comparison of SCIA-nadir L1 with AATSR (cf ERS-2 GOME/ATSR-2) Assess SCIA radiometry cf AATSR 550, 670, 870nm and 1.6mm Assess SCIA pointing cf AATSR (1km x 1km) Comparison of SCIAMACHY L2 O3 profiles, when available, with O3 profiles retrieved by RAL scheme from: GOME SCIA-nadir (when improved L1B available).
