Motivation
• Temperature dependence of O3 cross-sections is not
accounted in Brewer retrieval algorithm
• Actual air temperature at different layers is different from
the assumed -45°C (228 K)
• Corrections on retrieved total ozone are possible using
radiosonde data and climatological ozone profiles
• Assessing the effects of differences in T-dependence of
available O3 cross sections is challenging

Summary
• Accounting for the effective temperature of the ozone absorption affects the annual cycle of TOC and its trend; the magnitude and sign depend on O3 Xsections used
• Estimated effect on the TOC at Thessaloniki (2000-2011):
• IUP-UB Xsections improve the agreement between Brewer and satellite TOC (best results for GOME2)**the derived from satellite Teff is larger by 4-5°C
• Need for reconsidering the temperature parameterizations of IUP-UB cross sections?
