SABER Lidar Temperature and Ozone Analysis - July 2002 and Improvements in CO2 Retrieval

This dataset presents detailed findings from the SABER system, including Lidar temperature measurements and ozone profiles obtained on July 9, 2002, and comparative analyses with HALOE data. The study highlights temperature cross-sections and global plots, significant improvements in CO2 retrieval methods, and strong data quality assurances. Key agreements are found between SABER and HALOE ozone measurements, with an emphasis on mesosphere bias. These results further enhance our understanding of atmospheric composition and dynamics, particularly in stratospheric regions.

  14. SABER retrieved CO2 cross section compared to TIME-GCM for September TIME-GCM Model CO2 for September SABER retrieved CO2 for September 22, 2003

  15. Improvements from inclusion of CO2 line mixing and adjustment of pressure registration window O3 T Significant T, O3 and H2O changes in right direction H2O

  16. SABER Data Quality Status • Good confidence in retrieved temperatures up to ~95 km - NLTE data especially important outside the tropics • NLTE O3 agrees with HALOE to within ~ 20% for ~ 20 km to 60 km. High bias in the mesosphere with respect to HALOE. • Very good agreement between SABER 1.27m and 9.6m O3 • LTE H2O in the stratosphere biased high with respect to HALOE • Broad scale O3 and H2O morphology appears to be reasonable • Radiance and volume emission rate quality is excellent • Retrievals using line mixing and optimized pressure registration window provides significant improvements
