Scientific paper

The OSIRIS imager on the Odin satellite makes observations of the atmospheric limb that are used with a tomographic retrieval technique in order to derive two dimensional profiles of the oxygen infra-red atmospheric band airglow. The ability of this structure to identify small-scale vertical structure has been demonstrated through simulation. In this paper the dayglow emission profile of the oxygen infrared atmospheric bands, which is primarily due to the photolysis of ozone by solar radiation in the Hartley bands, is used to derive the corresponding ozone profile following the idea first developed by Evans et al. (1968) and extensively exploited with the SME satellite. It is shown that the third maximum in the ozone profile that was recently reported by Marsh et al. (2001) is clearly identifiable in the OSIRIS data.
