Over the last years, a growing number of Multi-AXis (MAX) and other scattered light DOAS instruments is operated world wide.
By probing the troposphere in different viewing angles and from different platforms, vertical profile information on aerosols and tropospheric trace gases, in particular NO2, can be derived.
Thereby, scattered light DOAS instruments provide an essential link between in-situ measurements of trace gas concentrations and column-integrated measurements from satellite, and thus play a key role in satellite validation.
This session is open for contributions about
- MAX-DOAS and other scattered light DOAS instrumentation and operation on various platforms (ground-based, mobile, aircraft)
- trace gas retrievals
- inversion algorithms
- identification and treatment of clouds
- comparisons to in-situ or satellite measurements and models
- scientific results.
Results from intercomparison campaigns like CINDI-2 (2016 in Cabauw) are particularly welcome.
Dear participants of the EGU MAX-DOAS session,
it was suggested by EGU to run all sessions as purely text-based chats.
For the MAX-DOAS session we do not follow this suggestion because:
-the structure of this format is not very clear
-the effort will be rather high, but the benefit probably not very high
-many of the contributions will be given in a much more clear way at the
DOAS workshop.
We are very sorry that we will not meet each other at the EGU conference in Vienna this year. Nevertheless, we want to thank you very much or your contributions and hope to have a regular EGU meeting again next year.
Best regards,
Steffen Beirle, Michel van Roozendael, Folkard Wittrock, Thomas Wagner
