The combination of the Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy （DOAS） and the Multiplicative Algebraic Reconstruction Technique （MART） is proposed. First, the limb radiance, measured over a range of tangent heights, is processed using the DOAS technique to recover the effective column densities of atmospheric ozone. Second, these effective column densities along the lines of sight （LOSs） are inverted using the MART coupled with a forward model SCIATRAN （radiative transfer model for SCIAMACHY） to derive the ozone profiles. This method is applied to Optical Spectrograph and Infra Red Imager System （OSIRIS） radiance, using the wavelength windows 571–617 nm. Vertical ozone profiles between 10 and 48 km are derived with a vertical resolution of 1 km. The results illustrate a good agreement with the cloud-free coincident SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY （SCIAMACHY） ozone measurements, with deviations less than ± 10% （ ± 5% for altitudes from 17 to 47 km）. Furthermore, sensitivities of retrieved ozone to aerosol, cloud parameters and NO 2 concentration are also investigated.展开更多

Using this method, we estimated the cross-tropopause ozone flux in a stratospheric-tropospheric exchange event that occurred over East Asia in March 2001.The result revealed that the ozone flux across the tropopause in this event was an order of magnitude higher than the global and hemispheric average. Compared to the traditional method using a linear relationship between ozone mixing ratio and potential vorticity near the tropopause, the cross-tropopause ozone flux evaluated with ozonesonde data was somewhat higher, although the orders of the two values were the same.展开更多
