Comparison of GOME-2/Metop-A ozone profiles with GOMOS, OSIRIS and MLS measurements
This paper presents a comparison of vertical ozone profiles retrieved by the Ozone ProfilE Retrieval Algorithm (OPERA) (versions 1.14–1.24) from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2) measurements on board the Meteorological operational Metop-A satellite with spaceborne high-vertical-reso...

This paper presents a comparison of vertical ozone profiles retrieved by the Ozone ProfilE Retrieval Algorithm (OPERA) (versions 1.14–1.24) from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2) measurements on board the Meteorological operational Metop-A satellite with spaceborne high-vertical-resolution ozone profiles by Global Ozone Monitoring by Occultation of Stars (GOMOS), Optical Spectrograph and Infrared Imager System (OSIRIS) and Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS).
