We discovered some errors in our published paper “Satel-lite observations and model simulations of tropospheric NO2

columns over south-eastern Europe”.

– The caption of Fig. 4 is erroneous. The correct caption and its figure appear on the following page.

– In Sect. 3.2 the “13:30 to 10:00 UT ratio” should be sub-stituted with the “13:30 to 10:00 LT ratio”, wherever it is mistakenly written.

CAMx OMIT3/SCIA Fire counts

Fig. 4.Left panel: Average diurnal variation of tropospheric NO₂columns modeled (from 1996 to 2001) by CAMx (asterisk symbols) and observed by SCIAMACHY (from 2004 to 2008) at 10:00 LT (diamonds symbol) and OMI (from 2004 to 2008) at 13:30 LT (triangle symbol) for the Balkan geolocations. The crosses indicate the average diurnal variation of CAMx NO2emissions over a 50×50 km grid of the area

under study. Right panel: Concurrent monthly average ratios of tropospheric NO2satellite measurements (OMIT3 over SCIAMACHY),

model simulations (CAMx 14:00/10:00) over urban areas and the total monthly fire counts over the Balkan geolocations for the time period 2004–2008.
