The quality of troposphere ozone in three reanalysis datasets is evaluated with longterm ozonesonde measurement at Pohang, South Korea. The Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate (MACC), European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Interim Reanalysis (ERAI) and Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA2) are particularly examined in terms of the vertical ozone structure, seasonality and long-term trend in the lower troposphere. It turns out that MACC shows the smallest biases in the ozone profile, and has realistic seasonality of lower-tropospheric ozone concentration with a maximum ozone mixing ratio in spring and early summer and minimum in winter. MERRA2 also shows reasonably small biases. However, ERAI exhibits significant biases with substantially lower ozone mixing ratio in most seasons, except in mid summer, than the observation. It even fails to reproduce the seasonal cycle of lower-tropospheric ozone concentration. This result suggests that great caution is needed when analyzing tropospheric ozone using ERAI data. It is further found that, although not statistically significant, all datasets consistently show a decreasing trend of 850-hPa ozone concentration since 2003 as in the observation.

본 연구에서는 한반도 서울의 연세대학교에서 Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy(MAX-DOAS)장비로부터 산출된 원시자료를 이용하여 처음으로 최적추정(Optimal Estimation; OE)을 사용하여 오존전량 및 오존의 대류권 프로파일을 산출하였다. 오존전량 및 오존의 대류권 프로파일을 산출하기 위하여 최적추정을 통하여 MAX-DOAS자료의 광학두께 피팅을 수행하였다. 광학두께 피팅은 MAX-DOAS 장비로부터 각각의 기기 고도각별로 관측된 값을 천정각에서 관측된 값으로 나누어 계산된 자료를 통하여 수행하였다. 오존전량은 2017년 5월 23일 오전(08:13)과 오후(17:55)에 각각 375.4와 412.6 DU로 산출되었다. 오존의 대류권 프로파일(<10 km)은참값 오존존데와 비교하여 약 5% 이내의 오차로 산출되었다. 하지만 10 km 이상의 높은 고도에서는 산출 에러가 커져 10% 이상 과대추정 하는 것으로 산출되었다. MAX-DOAS 자료의 스펙트럼 피팅에 의한 오차는 오전과 오후에 각각 16.8%와 19.1%로 계산되었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 지상관측 기반의 초분광 UV 센서를 이용하여 오존전량과 대류권 오존 프로파일을 산출하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 TOMS와 OMI 위성 관측 자료를 SAM 방법에 적용하여 산출한 북반구 여름 동안의 남위 20$^{\circ}$ 에l서 북위 40$^{\circ}$ 지역의 대류권 오존을 공간적 분포와 오존양 차이 및 상관관계 측면에서 비교 및 분석하였다 SAM 방법을 OMI와 TOMS 자료에 적용한 대류권 오존 분포는 모델의 대류권 오존과 오존 전구물질인 CO 분포와 일치하였다. 적도 지역의 경우, 생태계 화재(biomass burning) 영향을 잘 보여주었으며, 중위도 지역의 경우, 중동 지역과 아라비아 해 및 북 남미 대륙의 특징을 잘 보여주었다. SAM 방법을 적용하여 산출한 대류권 오존 분포는 모델의 대류권 오존 분포의 양상과 유사하지만, SAM방법의 대류권 오존 분포는 모델의 대류권 오존 보다 북반구에서 낮게 관측되었으며, 특히 북태평양과 북대서양과 같은 해양 지역에서 더 낮은 경향을 보였다. OMI 자료를 이용하여 산출한 대류권 오존 분포는 TOMS 자료를 이용하여 산출한 대류권 오존 분포보다 높게 나타났으며, 특히 biomass horning 영향을 받는 남반구 적도 지역에서 더 높게 관측되었다. 이러한 차이의 원인은 위성간의 위성각(viewing angle)과 자료 샘플링 빈도 및 a-priori ozone profile이 다르기 때문이라고 사료된다. CO와의 지역별 상관관계는 적도 지역의 경우 SAM 방법을 이용한 대류권 오존과 CO의 상관관계가 모델을 통한 대류권 오존과 CO의 상관관계보다 더 좋은 결과를 보이는 반면, 중위도 지역의 경우 모델과 CO의 상관관계가 더 좋은 결과를 보여주었다.

The importance of ozone monitoring has been growing due to the polar ozone depletion and increasing tropospheric ozone concentration over many Asian countries, including South Korea. In-situ measurement of the vertical ozone structure has advantages for ozone research, but observations are not sufficient. In this study, ozonesonde measurements were performed from October to November in Yongin during the GMAP (The GEMS Map of Air Pollution) 2021 campaign. The procedure for ozonesonde preparation and initial analysis of the observed ozone profile are documented. The observed ozone concentrations are in good agreement with previous studies in the troposphere, and they capture the stratospheric ozone distribution as well, including stratosphere-troposphere exchange event. These balloon-borne in situ measurements can contribute to the evaluation of remote sensing measurements such as Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS). This document focuses on providing essential information of ozonesonde preparation and measurement for domestic researchers.

The presences of clouds significantly influence the accuracy of ozone retrievals from satellite measurements. This study focuses on the influence of clouds on Ozone Monitoring instrument (OMI) ozone profile retrieval based on an optimal estimation. There are two operational OMI cloud products; OMCLDO2, based on absorption in $O_2-O_2$ at 477 nm, and OMCLDRR, based on filling in Fraunhofer lines by rotational Raman scattering (RRS) at 350 nm. Firstly, we characterize differences between $O_2-O_2$ and RRS effective cloud pressures using MODIS cloud optical thickness (COT), and then compare ozone profile retrievals with different cloud input data. $O_2-O_2$ cloud pressures are significantly smaller than RRS by ~200 hPa in thin clouds, which corresponds to either low COT or cloud fraction (CF). On the other hand, the effect of Optical centroid pressure (OCP) on ozone retrievals becomes significant at high CF. Tropospheric ozone retrievals could differ by up to ${\pm}10$ DU with the different cloud inputs. The layer column ozone below 300 hPa shows the cloud-induced ozone retrieval error of more than 20%. Finally, OMI total ozone is validated with respect to Brewer ground-based total ozone. A better agreement is observed when $O_2-O_2$ cloud data are used in OMI ozone profile retrieval algorithm. This is distinctly observed at low OCP and high CF.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the important trace gases because its concentration in the troposphere directly influences the concentrations of tropospheric hydroxyl (OH), which controls the lifetimes of tropospheric trace gases. CO traces the transport of global and regional pollutants from industrial activities and large scale biomass burning. The distributions of CO were analyzed using the MOPITT data for East Asia, which were compared with the ozone distributions. In general, seasonal CO variations are characterized by a peak in the spring, which decrease in the summer. The monthly average for CO shows a similar profile to that for O$_3$. This fact clearly indicates that the high concentration of CO in the spring is possibly due to one of two causes: the photochemical production of CO in the troposphere, or the transport of the CO into East Asia. The seasonal cycles for CO and O$_3$ in East Asia are extensively influenced by the seasonal exchanges of different air mass types due to the Asian monsoon. The continental air masses contain high concentrations of O$_3$ and CO, due to the higher continental background concentrations, and sometimes to the contribution from regional pollution. In summer this transport pattern is reversed, where the Pacific marine air masses that prevail over Korea bring low concentrations of CO and O$_3$, which tend to give the apparent summer minimums.

The Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument is an eight-channel gas correlation radiometer that launched on the Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra spacecraft in 1999. Its main objectives are to measure carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4) concentrations in the troposphere. This study analyzes tropospheric carbon monoxide distributions using MOPITT data and compare with ozone distributions in Northeast Asia. In general, seasonal CO variations are characterized by a peak in spring and decrease in summer. Also, this study revealed that the seasonal cycles of CO are maximum in spring and minimum in summer with average concentrations ranging from 118ppbv to 170ppbv. The monthly average of CO shows a similar profile to those of O3. This fact clearly indicates that the high concentration of CO in spring is caused by two possible causes: the photochemical CO production in the troposphere, or the transport of the CO in the northeast Asia. The CO and $O_3$ seasonal cycles in the Northeast Asia are influenced extensively by the seasonal exchange of the different types of air mass due to the Asian monsoon. The continental air masses contain high concentrations of $O_3$ and CO due to higher continental background concentrations and sometimes due to the contribution of regional pollution. In summer the transport pattern is reversed. The Pacific marine air masses prevail over Korea, so that the marine air masses bring low concentrations of CO and $O_3$, which tend to give the apparent minimum in summer.
