  6. Temperature Temperature = 2 products • (low resolution) Temperature : contribution of O2 band + rayleigh diffusion + atmospheric model ARLETTY (A. Hauchecorne SA/CNES) • High Resolution Temperature (HRTP) : scintillation obtained with photometers Envisat Validation Workshop, ACVT-GBMCD, GOMOS T 12/12/2002 Page 4

  10. Intercomparison of (low resolution) Temperature AO 300 2002-10-01/2002-11-28 Envisat Validation Workshop, ACVT-GBMCD, GOMOS T 12/12/2002 Page 8

  11. Intercomparison of (low resolution) Temperature AO 300 2002-10-01/2002-11-28 Envisat Validation Workshop, ACVT-GBMCD, GOMOS T 12/12/2002 Page 9

  12. Intercomparison of (low resolution) Temperature Some statistical results AO 300 10 GOM_NL__2* 9 radio-soundings Envisat Validation Workshop, ACVT-GBMCD, GOMOS T 12/12/2002 Page 10

  13. LIDAR RMRRome Tor Vergata Lidar site: 41.83°N, 12.65°E, 150 a.s.l Envisat Validation Workshop, ACVT-GBMCD, GOMOS T 12/12/2002 Page 11

  14. Intercomparison of High Resolution Temperature Profile AO 222 4 GOM_NL__2P* star ID : 52 Mv : 2.04 T : 4500 K Star ID : 142 Mv : 2.85 T : 8900 K Envisat Validation Workshop, ACVT-GBMCD, GOMOS T 12/12/2002 Page 12

  15. Intercomparison of High Resolution Temperature Profile AO 360 2002-04-25 star ID : 81 Mv : 2.36 T : 28000 K Dist. 300 km Time delay : few hours Envisat Validation Workshop, ACVT-GBMCD, GOMOS T 12/12/2002 Page 13

  16. Conclusions • difference of performance between • dark/bright limb conditions • lack of knowledge of the model contribution • in these quantities • difficult to validate the HRTP • (reflection on the spatio-temporal differences) • no bias larger than 10% - good • bias lesser than 1% between 15-35 km • seems to be good but the validation must continue Envisat Validation Workshop, ACVT-GBMCD, GOMOS T 12/12/2002 Page 14
