Here you find a summary of validation results with lidar instruments from all available NDACC stations.

SUMMARIES: Lidar

Layer mean ozone profile differences between GOME-2/METOP-A in coarse resolutio (CR) and reference instruments (lidar and microwave radiometer). left: relative difference (%) with reference profiles integrated to GOME-2 layers center: relative difference (%) eith reference profiles smoothed with GOME-2 averaging kernels (avk) right: absolute difference [DU/layer] Table of mean differences between Gome-2/metop ozone profiles and reference instruments, for coarse (CR) and high (HR)resolution profiles. NEW Sep 2012! Time series of monthly mean differences between reference instruments (lidar and mwave) and GOME-2/METOP-A ozone profiles at selected altitude layers for subtropical belt. Please note: At 20°N only Mauna Loa profiles are available. NEW Sep 2012! Time series of monthly mean differences between reference instruments (lidar and mwave) and GOME-2/METOP-A ozone profiles at selected altitude layers for northern mid latitude belt. Composed from stations: Bern, Payerne, Hohenpeissenebrg, Haute Provence, Table Mountain and Tsukuba Layer mean ozone profile differences between GOME-2/METOP-A in high resolution (HR) and reference instruments (lidar and microwave radiometer). left: relative difference (%) with reference profiles integrated to GOME-2 layers center: relative difference (%) eith reference profiles smoothed with GOME-2 averaging kernels (avk) right: absolute difference [DU/layer]   Table of availability of lidar resp. microwave ozone profiles at reference stations used in the current validation phase.
