Dec06 Nominal Mode Chiara Piccolo University of Oxford
2
26-29 Dec 2006: mixed NOM and AE mode data
4
Temperature: - Very different from IG - Stripes at S.Pole
5
H2O: - Stripes: EQU & S.Pole - High values S.Pole
above0.1 mb (possible a-priori influence)
6
HNO3: N. Pole enhancement
7
NO2: N. Pole mesospheric descent
8
O3: - Equatorial double peak - N. Pole stratospheric depletion
9
CH4: Equatorial oscillation
10
N2O: Equatorial oscillation
11
Summary of Dec06 Nominal Mode
Temperature: very different from IG H2O: Stripes at EQU & S.Pole and High values S.Pole above 0.1 mb HNO3: N. Pole enhancement NO2: N. Pole mesospheric descent O3: Equatorial double peak and hint of N. Pole mesospheric enhancement CH4 and N2O: Equatorial oscillation

Dec06 Middle Atmosphere Mode Chiara Piccolo University of Oxford
13
20-21 Dec 2006: MA mode data
15
Applying nominal microwindows to MA mode data
Retrievals using specialised MA mode microwindows
16
Temperature: higher values at the poles when using NOM microwindows
NOM MWs MA MWs
17
H2O: Stripes at EQU & S.Pole regions
High values S.Pole above 0.1 mb when using NOM mws (a-priori influence), but not when using MA mws Forward and reverse pattern when using MA microwindows NOM MWs MA MWs
18
HNO3: higher values when using NOM microwindows
NOM MWs MA MWs
19
NO2: higher values when using NOM microwindows in stratosphere (NGT) and more descending in N.Pole region when using MA microwindows NOM MWs MA MWs
20
O3: no double peak anymore, depletion in stratospheric N.Pole region
NOM MWs MA MWs
21
CH4: Equatorial oscillation still present when using NOM microwindows, not when using MA microwindows NOM MWs MA MWs
22
N2O: Equatorial oscillation (on zonal means) not present
Equatorial oscillation present when using NOM microwindow NOM MWs MA MWs
23
Summary of Dec06 MA Mode Temperature: higher values at the poles when using NOM microwindows H2O: High values S.Pole above 0.1 mb when using NOM microwindows, Forward and reverse pattern when using MA microwindows HNO3 & NO2: higher values when using NOM microwindows O3: no double peak anymore, depletion in stratospheric N.Pole region CH4 & N2O: Equatorial oscillation still present when using NOM microwindows, not when using MA microwindows
