Abstract
Abstract. Since 2017 the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) onboard ESA’s Copernicus Sentinel-5 satellite (S5-P) has provided the operational Carbon Monoxide (CO) data product with daily global coverage on a spatial resolution of 5.5 × 7 km2 (7× 7 km2 before August 2019). The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) plans to assimilate the retrieved total columns and the corresponding vertical sensitivities in the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service Integrated Forecasting System (CAMS-IFS) to improve forecasts of the atmospheric chemical composition. The TROPOMI data will primarily constrain the vertical integrated CO field (VCD) of CAMS-IFS but to a lesser extent also its vertical CO distribution as well. For clear-sky conditions, the vertical sensitivity of the TROPOMI CO data product is useful throughout the atmosphere but for cloudy scenes it varies due to cloud shielding and light scattering. To assess the profile information, we deploy a posteriori profile retrieval that combines individual TROPOMI CO column retrievals with different vertical sensitivities to obtain a vertical CO profile that is then a representative average for the chosen spatial and temporal domain. We demonstrate the approach on three CO pollution cases. For the so called “Rabbit Foot Fire” in Idaho on the 12 August 2018, we estimate a CO profile showing the pollution at an altitude of about 5 km in good agreement with airborne in-situ measurements of the Biomass Burning fluxes of trace gases and aerosols (BB-FLUX) field campaign. The distinct CO enhancement in a plume aloft, decoupled from the ground, is sensed by TROPOMI but is not present in the CAMS-IFS model. For a large-scale event, we analyzed the CO pollution from Siberian wildfires that took place from 14 to 18 August 2018. The TROPOMI data is estimating the height of the pollution plume over Canada at 7 km in agreement with CAMS-IFS. However, CAMS-IFS underestimates the enhanced CO vertical column densities sensed by TROPOMI within the plume by more than 100 ppb. Finally, we study the seasonal biomass burning in the Amazon. During the burning season (1–15 August 2019) the CO profile retrieved from the TROPOMI measurements agrees well with the one of CAMS-IFS with a similar vertical shape between ground and 14 km altitude. Hence, our results indicate that assimilating TROPOMI CO retrieval with different vertical sensitivities e.g., under clear-sky and cloudy conditions provide information about the vertical distribution of CO.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
