IASI RETRIEVAL OF TEMPERATURE, WATER VAPOR AND OZONE PROFILES OVER LAND WITH Φ-IASI PACKAGE DURING THE COPS CAMPAIGN

The paper illustrates the application of the IASI Level 2 processor developed at University of Basilicata by the Applied Spectroscopy group (φ-IASI) to IASI data recorded over the land during the COPS (Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study) observation campaign in the period between June and August 2007 over the region at boundaries among France Germany and Switzerland. IASI Water Vapor profiles retrieved with this methodology are compared with IASI profiles retrieved with the methodology developed at LATMOS (Laboratoire Atmosphères, Milieux, Observations Spatiales) laboratory, co-located GPS tomography, lidar and radiosonde profiles. While, retrieved temperature profiles are compared with radiosonde ones.
