The ESA MIPAS/Envisat level2-v8 dataset

An example of ESA MIPAS/Envisat level2 v8 data: Ozone hole split-up during late southern winter. The pictures show the distribution of the weekly means of ozone VMR at 50 hPa over the southern polar region during the 2002 vortex split-up for (a) 9­-15 September, (b) 16­-22 September, (c) 23­-29 September, and (d) 7­-13 October 2002.

The ESA level-2 v8 database from the measurements of MIPAS aboard Envisat, released recently and containing atmospheric fields of pressure, temperature, and volume mixing ratio of 21 trace gases, is described in detail in Dinelli et al., 2021. The database covers all the measurements acquired by MIPAS (from July 2002 to April 2012). The number of species included makes it of particular importance for the studies of stratospheric chemistry.
