TPSAS-NF1676L-32936-DND

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument, installed on the International Space Station (ISS), has completed over a year of data collection and production of science data products. The SAGE III/ISS is a solar and lunar occultation instrument, scanning the light from the sun and moon, through the limb of the Earth’s atmosphere. It was launched in February 2017 and provides data from June 2017 to the present. It continues SAGE's legacy of ozone, aerosol and water vapor profile measurements and extends the lengthy records for monitoring constituents important for understanding stratospheric ozone trends. This presentation shows the preliminary validation results of comparing SAGE III/ISS ozone and water vapor vertical profiles with those of NOAA ESRL/GMD and NIWA mission-funded ozonesondes and frost point hygrometers, and comparisons with other correlative data.

TPSAS-NF1676L-32505-DND

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument, installed on the International Space Station (ISS), has completed over a year of data collection and production of science data products, including the newly released version 5.1 data product. The SAGE III/ISS is a solar and lunar occultation instrument, scanning the light from the sun and moon, through the limb (edge) of the Earth's atmosphere. It was launched in February 2017 and provides data from June 2017 to the present. It continues SAGE's legacy of ozone, aerosol and water vapor profile measurements and extends the lengthy records for monitoring constituents important for understanding stratospheric ozone trends. This presentation shows the preliminary validation results of comparing SAGE III/ISS ozone vertical profiles with those of mission funded ozone sondes, associated lidar, and comparisons with other correlative data.

Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III on the International Space Station (SAGE III/ISS) Validation of Three Years of Ozone and Water Vapor Data

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument installed on the International Space Station (ISS) has completed three years of data collection and production of science data products. The SAGE III/ISS is a solar and lunar occultation instrument that scans the light from the Sun and Moon through the limb of the Earth’s atmosphere to produce vertical profiles of aerosol, ozone, water vapor, and other trace gases. It continues the legacy of previous SAGE instruments dating back to the 1970s to provide data continuity of stratospheric constituents critical for assessing trends in the ozone layer. This presentation shows the validation results of comparing SAGE III/ISS ozone and water vapor vertical profiles with those of in situ and satellite data.

Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III on the International Space Station (SAGE III/ISS) Validation of Ozone and Water Vapor Data

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument installed on the International Space Station (ISS) has completed four years of data collection and production of science data products. The SAGE III/ISS is a solar and lunar occultation instrument that scans the light from the Sun and Moon through the limb of the Earth’s atmosphere to produce vertical profiles of aerosol, ozone, water vapor, and other trace gases. It continues the legacy of previous SAGE instruments dating back to the 1970s to provide data continuity of stratospheric constituents critical for assessing trends in the ozone layer. Recently, the latest version 5.2 data product has been released to the public. This presentation shows the validation results of comparing v5.2 SAGE III/ISS ozone and water vapor vertical profiles with those of in situ and satellite data.

Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment on the International Space Station (SAGE III/ISS): Continuing the Legacy of SAGE Data Products

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument installed on the International Space Station (ISS) has completed almost half of a decade of data collection and production of science data products. The SAGE III/ISS is a solar and lunar occultation instrument that scans the light from the Sun and Moon through the limb of the Earth’s atmosphere to produce vertical profiles of aerosol, ozone, water vapor, and other trace gases. It continues the legacy of previous SAGE instruments dating back to the 1970s to provide data continuity of stratospheric constituents critical for assessing trends in the ozone layer. This presentation shows how SAGE III/ISS aerosol and gas vertical profiles continue to benefit a worldwide database of in situ and satellite data for climate observation.
