Abstract

The dataset provides monthly zonal mean (MZM) ozone profiles from the ACE-FTS (Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer) instrument onboard SCISAT, created by the ESA Ozone Climate Change Initiative project. The data are provided as ozone molar concentration (mol m-3) in 10 degree latitude bands from 90S to 90N, in the altitude range from 6 to 94 km.

The ACE-FTS Level 2 profiles (Bernath et al., 2005; Bernath, 2017), which are used for the MZM data, are retrieved with the University of Toronto processor UoT v3.5/3.6 and included into the new version of the HARMonized datasets of OZone profiles (HARMOZ_ALT, Sofieva et al., 2013). A more detailed description of the MZM data processing and dataset parameters can be found in README and in (Sofieva et al., 2017).

Title Derivation of the ESA Ozone CCI ACE-FTS monthly zonal mean ozone profile data
Abstract The monthly zonal mean ozone profile data are based on ACE-FTS Level 2 profiles (Bernath et al., 2005; Bernath, 2017), retrieved with the University of Toronto processor UoT v3.5/3.6 and included into the new version of the HARMonized datasets of OZone profiles (HARMOZ_ALT, Sofieva et al., 2013). A more detailed description of the MZM data processing and dataset parameters can be found in the README file with the data and in (Sofieva et al., 2017).
