Add comparison to 2005-2021 monthly climatology of OMI/MLS tropospheric ozone #242

New feature type

New plot and/or plot enhancement

What is this new feature?

Compare model output against satellite-based measurements of tropospheric ozone. Requires horizontal regridding to the observation space, selecting a model tropospheric column equal to the observations, and converting to Dobson Units (DU). The goal is to enhance upon comparisons that were in the old diagnostic framework.

Attached file is an example comparison for DJF from the old Diagnostics (using OMI/MLS O3 climatology 2004-2010 cset4_o3_column_omi_DJF_trop ).

Dataset details: OMI/MLS monthly average tropospheric ozone (to 300 hPa), 5 degree horizontal resolution, developed for TOARII. Available at: https://acd-ext.gsfc.nasa.gov/Data_services/cloud_slice/index.html#nd

Assistance required?

Also on this item is to look at seasonal zonal average comparisons for tropospheric and stratospheric ozone.
