UTLS-Ozone ERA40 Validation: Comparisons of Ozone values from satellites, aircraft and the ERA-40 model output
Abstract
Evaluation of the Ozone and Water Vapour Datasets of the 40-Year European Re-analysis of the Global Atmosphere Upper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) Round 2 project led by Prof. A. O Neill, Dr W. Lahoz and Prof. B. Hoskins, Centre for Global Atmospheric Modelling, Department of Meteorology, University of Reading.
This dataset contains comparisons between the ERA40 ozone field output and measurements from the MOZAIC research aircraft instrumentation and the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) and Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) instruments on board the Upper Air Research Satellite (UARS).

Use of these data is covered by the following licence(s): http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record. |
| Data lineage: |
Data were collected mainly by independent satellites from the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), and aircraft data from the Measurements of Ozone by Airbus In Service Aircraft (MOZAIC) programme, and measurements from fields campaigns (e.g. the European Arctic Stratospheric Experiment (EASOE), and the Second European Stratospheric Arctic and Mid-latitude Experiment (SESAME). Data were supplied to the BADC as is in 2005. |
