| description | Detailed uncertainty budgets of three major ultraviolet (UV) ozone
absorption cross-section datasets that are used in remote sensing
application are provided and discussed. The datasets are Bass–Paur (BP),
Brion–Daumont–Malicet (BDM), and the more recent Serdyuchenko–Gorshelev
(SG). For most remote sensing application the temperature dependence of the
Huggins ozone band is described by a quadratic polynomial in temperature
(Bass–Paur parameterization) by applying a regression to the cross-section
data measured at selected atmospherically relevant temperatures. For
traceability of atmospheric ozone measurements, uncertainties from the
laboratory measurements as well as from the temperature parameterization of
the ozone cross-section data are needed as input for detailed uncertainty
calculation of atmospheric ozone measurements. In this paper the uncertainty
budgets of the three major ozone cross-section datasets are summarized from
the original literature. The quadratic temperature dependence of the
cross-section datasets is investigated. Combined uncertainty budgets is
provided for all datasets based upon Monte Carlo simulation that includes
uncertainties from the laboratory measurements as well as uncertainties from
the temperature parameterization. Between 300 and 330 nm both BDM and SG
have an overall uncertainty of 1.5 %, while BP has a somewhat larger
uncertainty of 2.1 %. At temperatures below about 215 K, uncertainties in
the BDM data increase more strongly than the others due to the lack of very
low temperature laboratory measurements (lowest temperature of BDM available
is 218 K). |
