1 Stratospheric aerosol profile retrieval from SCIAMACHY limb observations Yang Jingmei Zong Xuemei Key Laboratory of Middle Atmosphere and Global Environment Observation (LAGEO), Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 129, China Introduction Data and Methodology Sensitivity Studies and Comparisons Conclusions
2 Introduction A long term measurement of stratospheric aerosol distributions is necessary for a better understanding of the stratospheric processes. Before the middle s, the satellite aerosol profile measurements were mainly carried out by the instruments using the solar occultation technique o N 4-5 o N -4 o N - o N 1- o N -1 o N high accuracy and high vertical resolution poor geographical coverage. The new-generation of satellite instruments perform limb measurements of the scattered solar radiation in the Earth s atmosphere. huge information of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols 1E-6 1E-5 1E-4 1E-3 Aerosol Extinction Coefficient (km -1 ) Annual averaged zonal mean SAGE II 1 nm aerosol extinction profiles over The observed heights of the tropopause are indicated by the vertical bars (one standard deviation. The aim of this study: Retrieve aerosol extinction profiles from SCIAMACHY Limb measurements
3 DATA AND METHODOLOGY SCIAMACHY on board ENVISAT: Channels: 8 Spectral range: nm Spectral resolution:.2.5 nm Tangent heights: -3 1 km Vertical intervals: 3.3 km We use level 1 version 7.4 limb observation data SCIAMACHY limb radiance spectra at 12.,.2, 18.6, 21.8,.1, 28.4, 31.7 and. km tangent height on 21 January 4, when the tangent point passed over western China (36. N, 97.3 E). Limb radiance (1 13 photons s -1 cm -2 nm -1 sr -1 ) Wavelength (nm) 12. km.2 km 18.6 km 21.8 km.1 km 28.4 km 31.7 km. km (Institute of Remote Sensing, University of Bremen). We use SCIATRAN for Limb scatter radiance simulation and weighting function calculations. Sensitivity of the measured radiances at 75 nm to variations of the aerosol extinction coefficients for the above observing conditions km.2 km 18.6 km 21.8 km.1 km 28.4 km 31.7 km. km dln(i)/dln(β a )
4 The equation to be solved for the retrieval is a nonlinear inverse problem : y = F( x) + e y (1) F: the non-linear forward model; y: measurement vector; X: the state vector; e y :measurement errors of all kinds. In order to reduce the sensitivity to the assumed surface albedo and to minimize the impact of instrument calibration errors, the limb radiance at each tangent height is normalized to the radiance at a reference tangent height: To reduce the effect of the Rayleigh scattering, the ratio of two spectral channels is used in the retrieval. We choose the wavelength pare of λ l = 75nm and λ s = 47nm and construct the measurement vector y as : Retrieval Method In ( λ, THi ) = I( λ, TH I( λ, TH ref I (λ, TH i ): the limb radiance at wavelength λ and tangent height TH i, TH ref :reference tangent height ( km). The retrieval algorithm is established on the basis of the optimal estimation method described by Rodgers[4]. The calculation is performed in an iterative manner by employing the equation: i ) ) (2) I n( λl,thi ) y = ln( ) (3) I n( λs,thi ) I n (λ l,th) and I n (λs,th): the normalized measured radiance at the wavelengths of λ l and λs. λ l = 75 nm and λs =47 nm. x = x 1 T 1 1 T 1 + ( S + K S K ) K S [( y y ) K ( x x )] n + 1 n y n n y n n n (4) S is the a priori covariance matrix of the solution; S y is the error measurement covariace matrix, K n is the matrix of weighting functions, x is the a priori aerosol profile, and y n is the calculated y value. Subscripts n and n+1 denote the number of the iteration.

6 Sensitivity Studies Sensitivity analyses are performed to investigate the impact of the bias in the assumed surface albedo on the accuracy of the aerosol extinction retrieval. The average surface albedo is used in the calculation: Relative errors (Err) of the retrieved aerosol extinctions by using the assumed surface albedo in the retrieval when the actual surface albedo values are A =.1,.2,.4 and.5. Height (km) A =.1 Err (%) A =.2 Err (%) A =.4 Err (%) A =.5 Err (%)
7 COMPARISONS With SAGE II retrieved SAGE II The retrieved SCIAMACHY 1 nm aerosol extinction profile (36. ºN, 97.3 ºE) on 21 January 4 at 3:42 UT compared to SAGE II profile (.2 ºN, 93.9 ºE) on the same day at 1:55 UT. Relative difference = (SCIAMACHY SAHE II) /SAGE II 1%. 1E-6 1E-5 1E-4 Aerosol extinction (km -1 ) Relative difference (%) retrieved SAGE II Same as the above Figure, but for the average values of 12 individual measurements. The measurements are within 4 ºN latitude band, and were performed on 21 January 4. 1E-6 1E-5 1E-4 Aerosol extinction (km -1 ) -4-4 Relative difference (%)
8 CONCLUSIONS Stratospheric aerosol extinction profiles are retrieved from SCIAMACHY Limb observations Sensitivity analyses revealed that the errors caused by the bias of the assumed surface albedo in the retrieval are generally below 6% in the northern midlatitudes. Comparisons with the SAGE II measurements showed that the retrieved SCIAMACHY limb aerosol extinction profiles have good agreement with the SAGE II profiles. Based on the present reported study, we can conclude that our retrievals are reliable and accurate. The validation will be extended in the near future to include additional retrieval profiles and satellite measurements.
