GOME assimilated ozone fields

This page provides access to assimilated ozone fields based on GOME ozone column data (ESA GOME Data Processor, version 3) and the assimilation model TM3DAM, driven by ECMWF meteorological fields. Data is available from August 1995 until May 2003, one field every 6 hours and monthly mean fields, and can be obtained as HDF 4 formatted data file, as ASCII data, or in the form of images (12 GMT only). The data files contain assimilated ozone distributions and the corresponding forecast error estimate field.

Validation results:

• Validation with ground-based Brewer-Dobson total ozone data

Documentation:

• The assimilation model TM3DAM
• How to read and use the HDF data files
• The ASCII data file format
