Scientific context and objectives (1/2)

  • Background: Although our understanding of the

processes that affect ozone concentrations in the stratosphere have grown significantly in recent years, there are still uncertainties in the predictions

  • f future trends and the quantification of the effects
  • f policy measures to protect the Ozone Layer.
  • Brief reminder of MoU objectives: To establish a

coherent network of European Brewer Spectrophotometer stations to harmonise and achieve consistency in QC, QA and coordinated

  • perations for ozone, UV and AOD.

Scientific context and objectives (2/2)

  • Research directions:
  • Instrument characterisation. Standardisation of

calibration protocols. Standard data processing

  • algorithms. Effective QA/QC systems linked to

satellite data. Understanding of uncertainties.

  • Co location of ozone, UV and AOD(UV)

measurements with spatial consistency for feedback into model predictions from satellite data.
