FRESCO+: an improved O2 A-band cloud retrieval algorithm for tropospheric trace gas retrievals
The FRESCO (Fast Retrieval Scheme for Clouds from the Oxygen A-band) algorithm has been used to retrieve cloud information from measurements of the O2 Aband around 760 nm by GOME, SCIAMACHY and GOME2. The cloud parameters retrieved by FRESCO are the effective cloud fraction and cloud pressure, which are used for cloud correction in the retrieval of trace gases like O3 and NO2. To improve the cl...
متن کاملImproving cloud information over deserts from SCIAMACHY Oxygen A-band measurements
The retrieval of column densities and concentration profiles of atmospheric trace gas species from satellites is sensitive to light scattered by clouds. The SCanning Imaging Absorption SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) instrument on the Envisat satellite, principally designed to retrieve trace gases in the atmosphere, is also capable of detecting clouds. FRESCO (Fast Retriev...

متن کاملA fast method for retrieval of cloud parameters using oxygen A band measurements from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment
The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) on board the ERS-2 isdesigned to measure trace gas column densities in the Earth's atmosphere. Such retrievals are hindered by the presence of clouds. The most important cloud parameters that are needed to correct trace gas column density retrievals for the disturbing effects of clouds are the (effective) cloud fraction and cloud top pressure. At pr...
متن کاملNear-real time retrieval of tropospheric NO2 from OMI
We present a new algorithm for the near-real time retrieval – within 3 h of the actual satellite measurement – of tropospheric NO2 columns from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). The retrieval is based on the combined retrieval-assimilation-modelling approach developed at KNMI for off-line tropospheric NO2 from the GOME and SCIAMACHY satellite instruments. We have adapted the off-line syste...
