GOME ozone data assimilation
TM3DAM:• ECMWF meteo, second moment advection, • Gas-phase + heterogeneous chemistry parametrization• Detailed forecast error modelling• KNMI GOME Fast Delivery ozone columns
Internet User Service:• 5-day ozone forecast • GOME ozone data bases

SCIAMACHY Validation strategy
TM3DAM:• Monitoring of Sciamachy ozone columns• SCIA observation minus forecast• Using GOME validation results (D. Balis, J.C. Lambert)
Observation minus forecast:• Check on Gaussian statistics• Bias and standard deviation• Dependence on: * latitude, latitude-longitude maps * time * viewing angle * spatial resolution * solar zenith angle * … * cloud parameters

CONCLUSIONS:
SCIAMACHY NRT total ozone:• Negative bias 20-25 DU Solution: use SCIAMACHY FM ozone cross-sections• Viewing-angle dependence Solution: correct viewing angle• Still biases, especially high Solar Zenith Angles, seasonality Advice: upgrade processor to GOME GDP 3.0 Polarization, realistic cloud information• RMS (noise) very promising: comparable to / better than GOME
Validation with data assimilation - OmF differences• Good statistics, to detect subtle effects Small biases, noise statisitics, correlations, jumps in time …
