5 Input vector

6 ANALISI DELLE FUNZIONI PESO = La funzione peso della frequenza osservata viene utilizzata per caratterizzare il modo in cui la trasmissività di un gas cambia in funzione dell altitudine. Per ogni frequenza, la funzione peso di una specie gassosa presenta generalmente un massimo in funzione dell altitudine in corrispondenza del quale si ha il massimo assorbimento atmosferico La scelta delle frequenze per effettuare il sondaggio di una grandezza fisica (come la temperatura o l umidità atmosferica) è realizzata sulla base delle relative funzioni peso, con particolare attenzione alla quota dei massimi e alle relative larghezze.

8 TEMPERATURA MEDIA RADIATIVA Spessore Ottico = T mr T mr prende il nome di temperatura media radiativa dell atmosfera. Esprime la temperatura globale dell atmosfera come sorgente termica e ci permette di calcolare l opacità tramite

10 GENERAZIONE COPPIE DI ADDESTRAMENTO Radiosoundings collected at various meteorological stations located in Europe Synthetically generated profiles (random fluctuations, thermal inversions,.) Millimeter-wave Propagation Model (LIEBE, 1993) Simulated brightness temperatures as seen from the instrument in the considered radiometric channels (different levels of uncorrelated gaussian noise)

11 SYNTHETICALLY GENERATED ATMOSPHERIC PROFILES Start from the midlatitude summer standard atmosphere For temperature At ground level a random fluctuation with a Gaussian distribution superimposed on its standard value Random fluctuations added to the temperature values at different heights, ht but with a Γ distribution ib ti Ground-based thermal inversions with distributed thickness and strength included For water vapor and liquid water Water t vapor profiles constructed t by adding random irregularities iti with a Gaussian distribution to the standard atmosphere profile. Liquid water simulating fog and/or clouds was generated whenever the relative humidity at a given height was larger than a selected threshold The liquid content of clouds assumed to be proportional to their thickness

31 Input-ouput pair generation Beyond the model you can use: Direct ground measurements: ozonesondes Other ground measurements: lidar, Brewer Satellite Level 2 products The co-location problem Iapaolo et al, 2007, assume that a satellite and a ground-based measurement are co-located when the centre of the GOME ground pixel is within a region of ±2.5 in latitude and ±5.0 in longitude around the lidar station, and when the time interval between the 2 measurements is less than 12 h
