Global Mapping of Atmospheric Composition from Space: Retrieving Aerosol Height and Tropospheric NO2 from OMI

The main objective of this thesis is to design a new aerosol layer height retrieval in order to improve the operational NO2 retrieval, both in the troposphere, from space-borne instruments for highly polluted events and under cloud-free conditions. This thesis focuses on the exploitation of the OMI satellite measurements acquired in the visible...
