Scientific paper

Six balloon-borne instruments were involved in the validation of GOMOS during two campaigns, at mid-latitude on September-October 2002 and at high latitude on January-March 2003. The vertical profiles obtained with these instruments, and by the satellite instruments POAM and SAGE, are compared to GOMOS profiles. The new version of the GOMOS vertical profiles of ozone, NO2, NO3 and water vapour is strongly improved. In particular, the unrealistic oscillations in the previous profiles are now removed. Nevertheless, significant discrepancies remain between GOMOS results and balloons data. Based on the LPCE processor applied to the GOMOS transmission spectra, recommendations are proposed in order to improve the retrieval, in particular by better taking into account the effect of the chromatic scintillation and the contribution of aerosols.
