The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument has been operating continuously since May, 2002 on the EOS Aqua platform.
Using cloud-cleared thermal radiance spectra observed in the nadir, global measurements of ozone profiles and column
densities have been made twice-daily on a ~~45 km footprint using the O3 9.6 μm band. Modifications to the
retrieval methodology have improved previously reported data, and we present preliminary results of tropical upper
tropospheric and lower stratospheric measurements of the ozone volume mixing ratio.
