An exploratory study on the aerosol height retrieval from OMI measurements of the 477 nmO₂ O₂ spectral band using a neural network approach

This paper presents an exploratory study on the aerosol layer height (ALH) retrieval from the OMI 477nm O₂ O₂ spectral band. We have developed algorithms based on the multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network (NN) approach and applied them to 3-year (2005-2007) OMI cloud-free scenes over north-east Asia, collocated with...

Impact of aerosols on the OMI tropospheric NO2 retrievals over industrialized regions: How accurate is the aerosol correction of cloud-free scenes via a simple cloud model? (discussion paper)

The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) instrument has provided daily global measurements of tropospheric NO2 for more than a decade. Numerous studies have drawn attention to the complexities related to measurements of tropospheric NO2 in the presence of aerosols. Fine particles affect the OMI spectral measurements and the length of the average...
