The vertical density distribution of ozone between 10 and 69 km was obtained using the weighted multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique and the radiative transfer model for SCIAMACHY. This study investigates the error sources for the retrieved ozone profiles, which are relevant to explain the difference between two independent instruments. The numerical simulation method was adapted to quantify the impact of various error sources on the retrieval accuracy of ozone profiles. First, the tangent height (TH) registration was found to be the largest error source. Assuming an aerosol-free atmosphere, under the condition of background aerosol, the ozone profile showed a negative deviation of ~2\u201310% below 40 km. With an incorrect a priori profile, ozone estimates may result in a 5\u201310% average error at the upper and lower boundaries. The ozone retrieval error caused by the uncertainty of surface albedo, ozone absorption cross-section, temperature, pressure profile, and low clouds was relatively small. The random error caused by the disturbance of the measurement vector obeying a Gaussian distribution did not exceed 5%. Second, the estimation of various error sources for different solar zenith angles was investigated. The error sources most strongly dependent on SZAs were aerosols, surface albedo, and clouds. Finally, the error estimation of the ozone retrieval between the northern hemisphere (NH) and the southern hemisphere (SH) was investigated, revealing that there were no strong interhemispheric differences, except for cloud height. These results can be used for interpretation of instrumental comparisons and validation of SCIAMACHY ozone profiles retrieved from different algorithms in a rigorous manner.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14163954","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,15]],"date-time":"2022-08-15T23:44:03Z","timestamp":1660607043000},"page":"3954","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Sensitivity Analysis of Ozone Profiles Retrieved from SCIAMACHY Limb Radiance Based on the Weighted Multiplicative Algebraic Reconstruction Technique"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8970-6469","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fang","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Environmental Optics, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"},{"name":"University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fuqi","family":"Si","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Environmental Optics, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haijin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Environmental Optics, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6875-2415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ke","family":"Dou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Environmental Optics, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minjie","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Environmental Optics, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Quan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Environmental Optics, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2135","DOI":"10.5194\/amt-11-2135-2018","article-title":"Retrieval of ozone profiles from OMPS limb scattering observations","volume":"11","author":"Arosio","year":"2018","journal-title":"Atmos.
