  1. S5P tropospheric ozone product: Convective Cloud Differential methodFirst German S5P Verification Meeting Bremen, 28 - 29 November 2013 Pieter Valks DLR, Remote Sensing Technology Institute (IMF)

  2. Outline • Convective-Cloud-Differential (CCD) algorithm for S5P • Analyses of CCD method with GOME-2 data • Analyses of cloud parameters • Variability in stratospheric and upper tropospheric ozone • Tropical tropospheric ozone column • Further analyses and development for S5P

  3. S5P tropical tropospheric ozone with CCD method Convective-cloud-differential (CCD) method • above cloud and clear-sky ozone column measurements • Tropical tropospheric ozone columns (TTOC) below ~200 hPa S5P data required: • Total ozone columns • Effective cloud fractions, cloud albedo and cloud-top pressures (OCRA and ROCINN)

  4. S5P cloud parameters used for CCD method Effective cloud fraction • S5P_CLOUD_OCRA • f > 0.8 (stratospheric column) • f < 0.1 (cloud free) Cloud pressure and albedo • S5P_CLOUD_ROCINN • CTP < 300 hPa • CTA > 0.8 (deep convective clouds)

  5. Stratospheric ozone column calculation Above-cloud ozone column (ACOC) using S5P Level-2 total ozone product • Selection of S5P measurements in the tropics (20°N-20°S): • Deep convective tropical clouds (f > 0.8, CTP < 300 hPa, CTA > 0.8) • Low ozone concentrations inside cloud • East Indian Ocean / Western Pacific (70°E – 170°W) • Vac = SCD / AMFcloud (no ghost column) Stratospheric ozone column (monthly mean) • 1.25° latitude bands • Stratospheric ozone column independent of longitude

  6. Tropical tropospheric ozone column Tropical Tropospheric Ozone Column (TTOC) S5P Level-3 product • Selection of cloud-free S5P L2 ozone measurements (f < 0.1) • Vclear = SCD / AMFclear • Monthly (weekly) mean values on a 1.25° by 2.5° lat-lon grid (20°N-20°S) GOME-2 Tropospheric O3 Oct. 2010
