Trend studies of ozone depleting substances derived from the new MIPAS ESA V7 products

Abstract
MIPAS on ENVISAT performed almost continuously measurements of the atmospheric composition for almost 10 years, from June 2002 to April 2012. These ten years cover a period when the first effect of the dismiss of the emission of the CFCs after the Montreal protocol ratification in 1987can be measured. Even if ten years constitute a short period to derive trends, it has been proven that useful information on time variation of atmospheric constituents can be derived from the analysis of these measurements. However, previous versions of MIPAS on ENVISAT dataset were characterized by an instrumental drift due to the fact that some detectors used by MIPAS were affected by non-linearities, which change with time due to the ageing of the detectors and this was cause of a non negligible systematic error in the trend estimation. The new full mission reprocessed dataset V7 that will be released very soon uses L1 files where the impact of the ageing of the detectors on non-linearities has been corrected. Furthermore, also the L2 processor has been upgraded with new functionalities improving the performances of the processor. We present the results of study of trends derived from the analysis of the new MIPAS V7 products on several MIPAS target species including ozone depleting species, like CFC-11, CFC-12, CCl4 and HCFC-22.
