Validation of SCIAMACHY tropospheric NO2-columns with AMAXDOAS measurements
Description (Dublin Core)
Tropospheric NO<sub>2</sub> vertical and slant columns from the new satellite instrument SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT are validated by measurements of the <B>A</B>irborne <B>M</B>ulti <B>AX</B>is <B>DOAS</B> (AMAXDOAS) instrument on board the DLR Falcon. The results presented here were obtained in February 2003 on a flight over the Alps, the Po-Valley and the Mediterranean. The tropospheric vertical column measured by AMAXDOAS varied between 16.2 and 35.2*10<sup>15</sup>molec/cm<sup>2</sup> over the Po-Valley where SCIAMACHY data resulted in 19.9 to 37*10<sup>15</sup>molec/cm<sup>2</sup>. Over less polluted areas a similarly good agreement was found. The linear correlation between the two datasets results in a slope of 0.93. The slight differences observed can be attributed to the different spatial resolution and the temporal mismatch between the measurements over the Po-Valley.
