GOZCARDS Source Nitrous Oxide 1 month L3 10 degree Zonal Means on a Vertical Pressure Grid V1 (GozSmlpN2O) at GES DISC
The GOZCARDS Source Data for Nitrous Oxide 1 month L3 10 degree Zonal Averages on a Vertical Pressure Grid product (GozSmlpN2O) contains zonal means and related information (standard deviation, minimum/maximum value, etc.), calculated from original Level 2 satellite instruments and products. The source N2O data are from the following satellite instruments: ACE-FTS (v2.2; 2004-onward) and Aura MLS (v2.2; 2004 onward). The vertical pressure range for N2O is from 147 to 0.5 hPa. The source data are used to create a merged product contained in a separate data product with the short name GozMmlpN2O. The GozSmlpN2O source data are distributed in netCDF4 format.

Purpose
GOZCARDS (Global OZone Chemistry And Related trace gas Data records for the Stratosphere) refers to a commonly-formatted Earth system data record (ESDR) for stratospheric composition, of high relevance to the issue of ozone decline and recovery. High-quality long-term ozone and related trace gas data records are needed to (a) evaluate and understand composition changes in the atmosphere and (b) constrain model representations of atmospheric dynamics and photochemistry. -

Processing Level
3
- Quality The merged time series obtained for GOZCARDS are intended to be quite faithful representations of the originally produced source datasets (the properly screened zonal average series based upon the original Level 2 set of individual profiles), meaning that no data gaps are filled, for example by fitting functions to the sparse datasets. Such fitting procedures will be up to individual users; also, model/data comparisons could be best performed by sampling the models in a way that is not continuous, but rather, follows the data record sampling in time and space.
