Derivation of total ozone amount in the Antarctic atmosphere from TOVS of TIROS-N/NOAA satellites

Derivation of total ozone amount in the Antarctic atmosphere from TOVS of TIROS-N/NOAA satellites

A simple regression method is applied to derive the total ozone amount from the TOVS data of TIROS-N/NOAA meteorological satellites received at Syowa Station, Antarctica. Besides channel 9 located in the ozone 9.6μm band, channels 1,2,3 and 8 of HIRS/2 are used. Regression coefficients are determine...
