TOU/SBUS are the first ozone instruments that China make and They are also the first ones that are carried on Chinese satellite.

The SBUS is similar with SBUV/2 and TOU similar with TOMS in design and wavelengths.

Thanks to Dr.Lawrence E.Flynn from NOAA/ NESDIS for his help in developing algorithms of FY-3 Sat under the China-U.S cooperaiton project in the field of atmospheric science and Technology.

The Tibetan Plateau is located in south-west of China. It is

the highest Plateau in the world, with average height

about 4,000 to 5,000meters above the sea level. It is

called the ‘roof of the world’ or the ‘third pole of the

earth’. The relatively strong radiation and the nature of

the ground surface make the Plateau a strong heating

source to the atmosphere.

1.To understand the effects of large scale of topography on the

ozone distribution.

2.To determine if the ozone change can modify the surface-

atmosphere system in the Tibet region, and possibly influence

the climate system on the global scale.

3. To understand how the ozone reduction may affect the

biosphere in that region.

The ozone trend over the Tibetan Plateau,

deduced from TOMS 1978-1991 year-

round data is -0.79±0.82 DU/year, with the

monthly trends ranging from -0.17DU/year

to -1.79DU/year.

By analyzing the total ozone data from TOMS an

d ground-based observations, the author found

that a large area with extremely low ozone occu

rred over the Tibetan Plateau during December

14-17, 2003. The area with total ozone < 220D

U is over 2.5 Million km2.

By comparing the total ozone data from TOMS

(SAT) and ground-based (GB) observations,

the authors found significant higher annual

mean values of GB-SAT in 2003, and very

large jumps of monthly mean were shown in

September 2002.

The tropospheric ozone is often recognized to be connect

ed with human activities. By considering the influence

of surface height and population density, the authors u

se the residual to show the possible influence of large s

cale of topography on dynamical processes and conseq

uence on the distribution of tropospheric ozone over C

China has come to realize the importance of ozone monitoring from satellite, and are making a great effort in developing the capacity.

FY-3 is the start that Chinese satellite carrying ozone instruments, and we will develope new instruments on following satellites.

FY-3, the China’s 2nd generation polar orbit satellite, will be launch in late May 2008. We hope it will be helpful for detecting the global ozone change trends.
