12 12 The linear error analysis technique By the source  Smoothing error o I. Retrieval = an estimate of a state smoothed by A o II. Retrieval = an estimate of the true state + smoothing error  Retrieval noise  easy  model parameter error o Retrieved model parameter (interference, baseline, calibration,…) o Non-retrieved model parameters o T o spectroscopic line par. o ILS (EAP) o SZA  Non-parameterized forward model error  not easy By the property  Random and systematic error Representing covariances measurement error Retrieval error Total error

14 14 Reminder: Cl-budget and HF HF  no known sink in the stratosphere  increase with age of sampled airmass  a dynamic tracer (better than N 2 O) in the Arctic stratosphere Cl budget (HCl, ClONO 2, ClO, ….)  (HCl + ClONO 2 ) explains >95 % of it. (DM Wilmouth, et al., JGR, 2006)  HCl, rapid adsorption and slow recovery  ClONO 2, rapid adsorption and rapid recovery HCl, ClONO 2, (HCl+ClONO 2 )/HF  To minimize the contamination from transport effects  typical values of HCl, ClONO 2, (HCl+ClONO 2 )/HF = 2, 1, 3  indicator of location of the sampled airmasses w.r.t. vortex

16 16 O 3 /HF: Chemical O 3 destruction We observed substantial chemical O 3 destruction during the intensive phase in 2005 (in a few days !), while no significant changes was observed in 2004. 2004 and 2005 DA8 (open symbols) PARIS (■, ■) ACE-FTS (hexsagons) d < 200km (hex, hex) d < 500 km (hex, hex)

17 17 Summary Total and partial columns presented with error budgets PARIS-IR captures temporal/regional column variations Good agreements among the three FTS’s  DA8 falls on the track of PARIS-IR  ACE-FTS beyond 200 km, better with ground-based FTS’s. Distinctive different trends were observed in the O 3 columns in 2004 and 2005 Observed chemical O 3 destruction in 2005, but virtually no destruction in 2004
