Description:
A description is presented of a new procedure for determining ozone mixing ratios in the upper stratosphere from satellite observations of backscattered ultraviolet (SBUV) radiance. The employed approach is based on a SBUV inversion procedure. The inversion algorithm can best be described as a series of sequentially performed operations, taking into account the determination of a first guess profile, the representation of the ozone profile by a polynomial, the extension of the profile outside the measurement region, error assessment, the optimal ozone profile, and the utilization of iteration. It is found that the described ozone profiling algorithm can be implemented with sufficient computational speed to be used operationally for the inversion of SBUV data.
