Gome data interpretation validation and application.

Objective



Experience with the space experiments similar to GOME (e.g. TOMS) has demonstrated the need for long term monitoring of the performance of the instrument in-flight calibration systems and validation of the data products. Errors in the data products from space experiments arise from a variety of factors: degradation of the instrument performance, instability of retrieval algorithms, changes in knowledge or assumptions about molecular absorption cross sections and atmospheric scattering parameters. The GODIVA proposal addresses specifically the need to monitor the behaviour of GOME and its data products.
Advanced data products from GOME measurements are potentially of great importance for the European atmospheric, climate and meteorological user communities planning to use both GOME and OMI data. The second focus of this proposal aims to investigate the current status and develop further scientific algorithms suitable for later use in operational processing. The following potential GOME products have been selected for study in this project: global 03 vertical profiles, global NO2 columns, BrO and OCIO products, polar stratospheric clouds.
In order to ensure effective use of the GOME data we incorporate a database facility and the EUMETSAT ozone SAF as partner in this project. The database facility already provides an established service to scientific and operational End Users. The European ozone SAF needs an operational OMI (GOME) data processing system to be ready by the year 2002. GODIVA will be an important step in achieving this objective.
In conclusion this study will provide important information about the accuracy of existing and advanced products from the remote sensing instrument GOME and its successor OMI. It will improve the effective use of these data by scientific and operational (meteorological) end users.
