Five years of Sentinel-5p TROPOMI operational ozone profiling and geophysical validation using ozonesonde and lidar ground-based networks

Sophie Godin-Beekmann

Résumé

The Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P) satellite operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) carries the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on a Sun-synchronous low-Earth orbit since October 13, 2017. The S5P mission has acquired more than five years of TROPOMI nadir ozone profile data retrieved from the Level-0-to-1B processor version 2.0 and the Level-1B-to-2 Optimal Estimation based processor version 2.4.0. The latter is described in detail in this work, followed by the geophysical validation of the resulting ozone profiles for the period May 2018 to April 2023. Comparison of TROPOMI 5 ozone profile data to co-located ozonesonde and lidar measurements used as references, concludes to a median agreement better than 5 to 10 % in the troposphere. The bias goes up to-15 % in the upper stratosphere (35-45 km) where it can exhibit vertical oscillations. The comparisons show a dispersion of about 30 % in the troposphere and 10 to 20 % in the upper troposphere to lower stratosphere (UTLS) and in the middle stratosphere, which is close to mission requirements. Chi-square tests of the observed differences confirm on average the validity of the ex-ante (prognostic) satellite and ground-based data 10 uncertainty estimates in the middle stratosphere, above about 20 km. Around the tropopause and below, the mean chi-square 1
