Hemispheric ozone variability indices derived from satellite observations and comparison to a coupled chemistry-climate model
Total column ozone is used to trace the dynamics of the lower and middle stratosphere which is governed by planetary waves. In order to analyse the planetary wave activity a Harmonic Analysis is applied to global multi-year total ozone observations from the Total Ozone Monitoring Spectrometer (TOMS). As diagnostic variables we introduce the hemispheric ozone variability indices one and two. The...
متن کاملComparison of Zonal Variability in Total Ozone Derived from Ers-2 Gome and a Coupled Chemistry-climate Model
8 years of ERS-2/GOME total ozone observations are used to evaluate first results of a multi-year model simulation representing "year 2000" conditions with an updated version of the coupled-chemistry climate model ECHAM4.L39(DLR)/CHEM (hereafter: E39/C). The analysis focuses on zonal large scale variations of corresponding ozone fields. We present a comparison of total ozone and wave amplitudes...
متن کاملOn the possible causes of recent increases in northern hemispheric total ozone from a statistical analysis of satellite data
Global total ozone measurements from various satellite instruments such as SBUV, TOMS, and GOME show an increase in zonal mean total ozone at northern hemispheric (NH) mid to high latitudes since the mid-nineties. This increase could be expected from the peaking and start of decline in the effective stratospheric halogen loading, but the rather rapid increase observed in NH zonal mean total ozo...
متن کاملAn updated Antarctic melt record through 2009 and its linkages to highlatitude and tropical climate variability
[1] A 30-year minimum Antarctic snowmelt record occurred during austral summer 2008–2009 according to spaceborne microwave observations for 1980–2009. Strong positive phases of both the El-Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode (SAM) were recorded during the months leading up to and including the 2008–2009 melt season. The 30-year record confirms that signific...
متن کاملComparison of total ozone from the satellite instruments GOME and TOMS with measurements from the Dobson network
Over the last 3 decades, satellite data have been used to monitor long-term global changes in stratospheric ozone. The TOMS series (1978–present) and GOME (1995– present) are two very important instruments in this context. In this paper, TOMS total ozone and three approaches to derive total ozone from GOME measurements are validated with ground-based Dobson network data. Beyond the operational ...
