Retrieval of stratospheric aerosol density profiles from SCIAMACHY limb radiance measurements in the O₂ A-band

Preliminary analysis of the hyperspec- tral images indicates that the radiance measurements are of high quality, and we have used these to retrieve vertical pro- files of

The current approach is successful in retrieving the NO number densities in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere with SCIAMACHY MLT limb scans. The results are in rea-

The present study aims at estimating the accuracy of the inferred vertical profiles of stratospheric O 3 and NO 2 by comparison to the corresponding data retrieved from tra-

Aerosol mass loading was calculated from the FMPS measurements by applying the determined aerosol density after taking into account the aerosol deposition on the chamber wall

Example profiles retrieved by SCIAMACHY (black), the same convolved with A BreRAM (red) and the BreRAM vmr profile (blue) of Ozone the thin grey line is the a priori profile used in

The stratospheric vertical columns derived from SCIA- MACHY limb measurements and Oslo CTM2 simulations differ considerably from total vertical columns obtained over the clean

In this section, stratospheric BrO profiles and correspond- ing partial columns retrieved from ground-based UV-visible measurements at Harestua, OHP, and Lauder are compared

These measurements are used to retrieve spatially resolved information of the stratospheric aerosol distribution, including spectral extinction coe ffi cient and particle size.. Here
