Retrieval of Aerosol Profiles using Multi Axis Differential Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS)

Multi Axis Differential Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) is a well established measurement technique to derive atmospheric trace gas profiles by collecting scattered light spectra at different elevation angles and subsequent inverse modelling of the radiative transfer (Hönninger et al., 2004). Since aerosol particles are significantly involved in the scattering of the detected light, informat...

Sciamachy Water Vapour Retrieval Using Amc-doas

Measurements of the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) on ENVISAT have been used to derive global water vapour total column amounts over ocean and land. For this purpose, the Air Mass Corrected Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (AMC-DOAS) approach, which has already been successfully used with GOME data, has been applied to SCIAMACHY’s n...

MAX-DOAS measurements in Ny-Ålesund

A new approach to derive tropospheric concentrations of some atmospheric trace gases from ground-based UV/vis measurements is described. The instrument, referred to as the MAX-DOAS, is based on the well-known UV/vis instruments, which use the sunlight scattered in the zenith sky as the light source and the method of Differential 5 Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) to derive column amounts ...
