Abstract
Abstract. The Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) on the A-Train Aura satellite
was designed to profile tropospheric ozone and its precursors, taking
measurements from 2004 to 2018. Starting in 2008, TES global sampling of
tropospheric ozone was gradually reduced in latitude, with global coverage
stopping in 2011. To extend the record of TES, this work presents a
multispectral approach that will provide O3 data products with
vertical resolution and measurement error similar to TES by combining the
single-footprint thermal infrared (TIR) hyperspectral radiances from the Aqua
Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument and the ultraviolet (UV)
channels from the Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). The joint
AIRS+OMI O3 retrievals are processed through the MUlti-SpEctra,
MUlti-SpEcies, MUlti-SEnsors (MUSES) retrieval algorithm. Comparisons of
collocated joint AIRS+OMI and TES to ozonesonde measurements show that both
systems have similar errors, with mean and standard deviation of the
differences well within the estimated measurement error. AIRS+OMI and TES
have slightly different biases (within 5 parts per billion) vs. the sondes.
Both AIRS and OMI have wide swath widths (∼1650 km for AIRS; ∼2600 km for OMI) across satellite ground tracks. Consequently, the joint
AIRS+OMI measurements have the potential to maintain TES vertical
sensitivity while increasing coverage by 2 orders of magnitude, thus
providing an unprecedented new data set with which to quantify the evolution
of tropospheric ozone.
