To attain a coherent TCO record, observed cross-mission biases should be accurately addressed prior to the data-merging scheme.
TCO observations from OMI during 2004 2015 were then projected to the OMPS level by removing associated cross-mission biases.
In addition to the evaluation of consistency improvements before and after bias correction, impacts of cross-mission biases on long-term trend estimations were also investigated.
In this study, a modified statistical bias correction method was proposed based on the quantile-quantile adjustment to remove apparent cross-mission TCO biases between the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS).
Comparisons of derived trends from the merged TCO time series before and after bias correction across 38 ground-based stations indicate that cross-mission biases not only affect magnitudes of estimated trends, but also result in different phases of trends.
Because of differences in satellite platforms and instruments design, calibration, and retrieval algorithms, however, significant cross-mission biases are observed between multiple sensor TCO observations in the common time space domain.
To evaluate the effectiveness of this modified algorithm, the overall inconsistency (OI), a unique time-series similarity measure, was proposed to quantify the improvements of consistency (or similarity) between cross-mission TCO time series data before and after bias correction.
