The total ozone column (TOC) product, which is one of the most important elements of the EMI-2 mission, is required for monitoring the Antarctic ozone hole and regional tropospheric ozone pollution. The first EMI-2 TOC results using the differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) method are presented in this study. Significant improvements, such as the fitting interval, reference spectrum, and iterative air mass factor (AMF) calculation scheme, were implemented in the EMI-2 TOC retrieval in comparison with the EMI DOAS TOC algorithm, thus generating more accurate reads. The monthly average EMI-2 DOAS TOCs in November 2021 were compared with the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) TOCs, and the results showed a good correlation (R = 0.99). The EMI-2 TOCs showed similar global spatial distributions to those of TROPOMI, with an overall mean relative bias and mean standard deviation of 0.16% and 2.38%, respectively. However, large differences (up to 7%) appeared in some polar areas near the coastline, which were mainly caused by different surface albedo algorithms. Furthermore, ground-based measurements from 20 stations across different latitudes derived from the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Center dataset were used to assess the accuracy of the EMI-2 DOAS TOCs, and they had a mean relative bias and mean standard deviation of 0.70% and 3.65%, respectively. These results indicate that the EMI-2 DOAS TOC algorithm can yield reliable global TOCs and monitor daily Antarctic TOCs for assessing the healing of ozone holes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15061665","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]],"date-time":"2023-03-20T03:09:37Z","timestamp":1679281777000},"page":"1665","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["First Retrieval of Total Ozone Columns from EMI-2 Using the DOAS Method"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Yuanyuan","family":"Qian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Optics and Technology, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"},{"name":"Science Island Branch, Graduate School of USTC, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4568-6336","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuhan","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Optics and Technology, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"}]},{"given":"Haijin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Optics and Technology, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8181-9661","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Taiping","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Optics and Technology, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Xi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Optics and Technology, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"}]},{"given":"Fuqi","family":"Si","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environmental Optics and Technology, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"755","DOI":"10.1038\/321755a0","article-title":"On the depletion of Antarctic ozone","volume":"321","author":"Solomon","year":"1986","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"275","DOI":"10.1029\/1999RG900008","article-title":"Stratospheric ozone depletion: A review of concepts and history","volume":"37","author":"Solomon","year":"1999","journal-title":"Rev.
