The radiance measured by the current Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Sounder provide hourly information for atmospheric temperature, water vapor as well as total column ozone. CIMSS has been experimentally generated hourly total column ozone product from these measurements. In this study an updated algorithm with new training data sets and a bias correction for GOES total ozone retrieval is addressed.
Ozone is one of the most important chemical constituents in the atmosphere. It plays a critical role in the UV radiation, stratospheric temperature, and air quality studies. High spatial and high temporal measurement of ozone with good accuracy from space is needed.

In generalized form, GOES ozone is retrieved by the following regression expression:

The regression coefficients were generated from a nearly global training data sets containing 6408 atmospheric temperature, moisture and ozone profiles along with physically assigned surface emissivities and surface skin temperatures. The associated radiances were calculated with a fast forward radiative transfer model.
Two retrieval schemes were investigated: one integrating a retrieved ozone profile and another retrieving total column ozone directly. The direct total column ozone retrieval shows a better result and is applied in this study.

6. ConclusionsBased on statistical regression procedure, a direct total column ozone retrieval method was developed and applied to GOES Sounder radiance measurements. GOES-8 ozone estimates in 1998 and 1999 showed root-mean-square difference (RMSD) of 3-6% with collocated TOMS level 2 ozone measurements. A case study of May 10 2005 showed a similar difference between GOES-12 ozone retrievals and OMI products. Furthermore, GOES ozone retrieval biases were estimated by using GOES-8 retrievals and TOMS data through a regression model. After bias adjustment, GOES Sounder ozone retrievals have been improved for both GOES-8 and GOES-12. More GOES-12 cases are needed to validate these results.
