Envisat MIPAS measurements of CFC-11: retrieval, validation, and climatology

Envisat MIPAS measurements of CFC-11: retrieval, validation, and climatology

From July 2002 to March 2004 the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) aboard the European Space Agency’s Environmental Satellite (Envisat) measured nearly continuously mid infrared limb radiance spectra. These measurements are utilised to retrieve the global distribution of the chlorofluorocarbon CFC11 by applying a new fast forward model for Envisat MIPAS and an ac...

Validation of Mipas-envisat Ch4, N2o, Cfc-11 and Cfc-12 by Airborne in Situ Observations

Airborne in situ measurements of the trace gases CH4, N2O, CFC-11 and CFC-12 with the High Altitude Gas AnalyzeR (HAGAR) on board the M55 Geophysica aircraft and the balloon-borne cryosampler BONBON of the University of Frankfurt are compared to vertical profiles from MIPAS-ENVISAT. We validate ESA level-2 standard products (v. 4.61) and non-operational trace gas profiles of CH4, N2O, CFC-11 an...
