IntroductionTropospheric O3: key species in air quality, climate, trop. chemistry
Chance et al. (1997): ozone profiles including tropospheric ozone can be derived from UV/Visible spectra (wavelength-dependent photon penetration and temperature-dependent Huggins bands)
GOME: April 1995, 240-790 nm, 0.2-0.4 nm FWHM, high SNR
Several other groups developed physically-based ozone profile algorithms: Munro et al., 1998; Hoogen et al., 1999, Hasekamp and Landgraf, 2001, van der A et al., 2002
Tropospheric ozone retrievals remain challenging: consistent and accurate calibration, high fitting precision, 90% total ozone above
We recently developed our own ozone profile algorithm for GOME data and demonstrated that valuable tropospheric ozone can be derived from GOME (Liu et al., 2005, 2006a, 2006b, in press, 2006c submitted to ACP).

Algorithm Description LIDORT (pseudo-spherical) with additional corrections
Polarization correction Ring effect: directly model the 1st-oder RRS of the direct beam
Clouds: Lambertian + IPA, GOMECAT CTP, fc from 368-372 nm
Aerosols: SAGE stratospheric and GOCART tropospheric
Surface albedo: varying with , initialized from an albedo database
NCEP surface & tropopause pressure, ECMWF temperature
Directly model and fit other trace gases: SO2, NO2, BrO, HCHO NO2: PRATMO (stratosphere) + GEOS-CHEM (troposphere)
BrO: PRATMO (stratosphere) + well mixed in the troposphere SO2/HCHO: no stratospheric + GEOS-CHEM (troposphere)
Use ozone cross section by Brion et al. [1993]: reduce residuals by 30-45% in the Huggins bands (vs. Bass-Paur and GOME FM)
Fitting residuals: < 0.1% in the Huggins bands (326-340 nm)

Summary and Future OutlookOzone profiles and tropospheric column ozone are retrieved from GOME spectra (289-307 nm, 325-340 nm) using the optimal estimation after extensive treatments of wavelength and radiometric calibrations and forward modelingRetrieval have been extensively evaluated against TOMS, Dobson/Brewer, SAGE, and ozonesonde measurements.An eight-year (July 1995-June 2003) record of ozone profiles (24-layers), total, stratospheric, and tropospheric column ozone from GOME is available.Continue to improve the retrievals and apply this algorithm to SCIAMACHY, GOME-2, and OMI data.Integrate with chemical transport model to understand global distribution of tropospheric ozone and its seasonal and interannual variability.Tropospehric ozone budget and its radiative forcing

Mean biases: <3.3 DU (15%) at 30 stations; 1 : 3-8 DU (12-27%) Improvements over a priori at most stations: either reduces MBs or 1 or increases the correlation
Comparison with Ozonesonde Tropospheric Column Ozone
![Page 31: Xiong Liu, Kelly Chance, and Thomas Kurosu Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA, USA The 36 th COSPAR Scientific Assembly Beijing,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/56649d565503460f94a34a06/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Comparison with Ozonesonde SCO
http://www.cmdl.noaa.gov/infodata/ftpdata.html
GOME SCO compares better with 1%-KI buffered than 2%-KI unbuffered by 11-16 DU.
Altitude-dependent total ozone normalization reduces the bias contrast and GOME/sonde biases mainly with 2%-KI unbuffered.

Systematic biases
Large positive biases of (30-70%) at Carbon Iodine and most tropical stations

33
Profile Comparison with Ozonesonde
The biases relative to 1%-buffered is usually smaller by 5-15%. Altitude-dependent homogenization reduces the bias with 2%-unbuffered. Uncorrected altitude hysteresis can account for 5-15% biases.
