GOME Tropospheric Column Ozone RetrievalOzone profile and tropospheric ozone: directly retrieved from GOME Ultraviolet radiance spectra with the LIDORT modelRodgers’ optimal estimation with v8-TOMS climatological a prioriWavelength range: 289-307 nm, 326-340 nmPerform extensive wavelength and radiometric calibrations and improve radiative transfer simulations to reduce the fitting precision to < 0.2%NCEP/NCAR tropopause: divide the troposphere and stratosphereSpatial resolution: 960×80 km2 ; Global coverage: 3 days in the equatorRetrieval characterization:
A priori influence: ~15% in the tropics to ~50% at high-latitudesPrecision: ~6% (1.5 DU) in the tropics to ~12% (3 DU) at high-latitudesSmoothing error: ~12% (3 DU) in the tropics to ~25% (6 DU) at high-latitudes

SummaryThe overall structures in Tropospheric Column Ozone (TCO) are similar: wave-1 pattern in the tropics and nearly zonally-bands of high TCO at ~30ºN/S. The seasonality is similar at most regions.
GEOS-CHEM TCO is higher than GOME TCO by ~6-12 DU at some tropical regions (e.g., central America, North Africa and North Atlantic, and southeast Asia). Poor correlation occurs at some tropical regions and northern high-latitudes.
Comparisons with MOZAIC and ozonesonde observations show that most of the positive biases over central America and Southeast Asia are from GOES-CHEM TCO except at Paramaribo and Delhi.
GEOS-CHEM better captures the seasonality at North Africa, Dubai, northern Europe, and slightly better at southeast Asia.
