Long-term validation of MIPAS ESA operational products using MIPAS-B measurements

Abstract 2 O, O3, HNO3, CH4, N2 O, and NO2 but also vertical profiles of volume mixing ratios of the more difficult-to-retrieve molecules N2 O5, ClONO2, CFC-11, CFC-12 (included since v6 processing), HCFC-22, CCl4, CF4, COF2, and HCN (included since v7 processing). Finally, vertical profiles of the species C2 H2, C2 H6, COCl2, OCS, CH3 Cl, and HDO were additionally retrieved by the v8 processor. ± 2  K in the stratosphere. For most gases – namely H2 O, O3, HNO3, CH4, N2 O, NO2, N2 O5, ClONO2, CFC-11, CFC-12, HCFC-22, CCl4, CF4, COF2, and HCN – we find a 5 %–20 % level of agreement for the retrieved vertical profiles of both MIPAS instruments in the lower stratosphere. For the species C2 H2, C2 H6, COCl2, OCS, and CH3 Cl, however, larger differences (within 20 %–50 %) appear in this altitude range.
