Influence of the stratosphere temperature on ozonosphere optical characteristics and instrumental problems of total ozone content remote measurements

TL;DR

This paper examines how stratospheric temperature influences ozone measurement accuracy and highlights the importance of accounting for temperature effects in remote sensing of total ozone content.

Contribution

It introduces the significance of stratospheric temperature dependency in ozone optical measurements and discusses its impact on observational accuracy and instrumental issues.

Findings

High correlation between stratospheric temperature and ozone measurements.

Temperature dependency affects ozone absorption and scattering indexes.

Instrumental and observational corrections are necessary for accurate ozone data.

Abstract

In this paper we investigate stratosphere temperature impact on remote ozone satellite and ground-based optical observations. High correlation between stratospheric temperature and instrumentally determined total ozone content requires taking into account temperature dependency of ozone absorption and scattering indexes and of other atmosphere characteristics for inverse ozone observations problem solution. The assumption that the majority of observed ozone anomalies and trends are caused by atmosphere temperature change is made.
