Short summary

Tropospheric ozone (O₃) is the third most important greenhouse gas. Several sensors on satellites measure O₃ concentration like the infrared sounding IASI of MetOp satellites with a spatiotemporal coverage never reached so far. The assimilation of tropospheric IASI data within the chemistry transport model MOCAGE gives a good representation of O₃ variability over the tropics linked with ENSO and the Walker circulation. IASI assimilation can contribute to the long-term monitoring of O₃.
