Tropospheric NO2 columns from SCIAMACHY measurements
Tropospheric NO2 columns are retrieved from SCIAMACHY measurements using the DOAS technique. The separation of stratospheric and tropospheric NO2 is based on a combined use of stratospheric limb profile and nadir total column measurements, both performed by SCIAMACHY.
