Ozone Column

The ground-based ozone observation instrument, Brewer spectrophotometer (Brewer), was used to evaluate the quality of the total ozone column (TOC) produced by multiple polar-orbit satellite measurements at three stations in Antarctica (King Sejong, Jang Bogo, and Zhongshan stations). While all satellite TOCs showed high correlations with Brewer TOCs (R = ~0.8 to 0.9), there are some TOC differences among satellite data in austral spring, which is mainly attributed to the bias of Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) TOC. The quality of satellite TOCs is consistent between Level 2 and 3 data, implying that “which satellite TOC is used” can induce larger uncertainty than “which spatial resolution is used” for the investigation of the Antarctic TOC pattern. Additionally, the quality of satellite TOC is regionally different (e.g., OMI TOC is a little higher at the King Sejong station, but lower at the Zhongshan station than the Brewer TOC). Thus, it seems necessary to consider the difference of multiple satellite data for better assessing the spatiotemporal pattern of Antarctic TOC.

Abstract. Atmospheric ozone along with aerosols significantly affect the amount of ultraviolet solar radiation that reaches on the Earth's surface. Presented study is focused on the comparison of the optical depth of total ozone and atmospheric aerosols in the area of Poprad-Gánovce situated at the altitude of 706 meters above sea level, close to the highest peak of the Carpathian Mountains. Measurements of direct sun ultraviolet radiation are carried out here continuously since 1994 using the Brewer Ozone Spectrophotometer type MK IV. These measurements are used to calculate the total amount of atmospheric ozone and consequently its optical depth. Measurements can also be used to determine the optical depth of atmospheric aerosols using the Langley plot method. In this study, those two factors causing a significant reduction in the direct sun ultraviolet radiation to the Earth's surface are compared to each other. The study is showing results of measurements over 23 years, since 1994 to 2016. Values of optical depth are determined for wavelengths 306.3 nm, 310.1 nm, 313.5 nm, 316.8 nm and 320.1 nm. A statistically significant decrease in the total optical depth of the atmosphere was observed for all investigated wavelengths. Its main cause is the decrease of optical depth of aerosols. The study also presents comparison of the terrestrial and satellite data of total ozone and AOD. A very good match of satellite and terrestrial direct sun measurements of total ozone was found. The use of zenith sky measurements in combination with the direct sun measurements leads to the systematically higher values of total ozone. Comparison of the satellite and terrestrial AOD measurements in the UV range of the solar spectrum is mainly limited by the very low number of days for which AOD can be determined for satellite measurements. It has been found that AOD satellite data is higher than terrestrial in the long-term average.
