SCIAMACHY NO2 vertical column (KNMI) validation literature:

Validation of SCIAMACHY OL 3.0 NO2 profiles and columns using ground-based DOAS profiling
F. Hendrick, J. Granville, J.-C. Lambert and M. Van Roozendael

Abstract/Article:	Proceedings of the Third Workshop on the Atmospheric Chemistry Validation of ENVISAT (ACVE-3), 4-7 Dec. 2006, ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italy, ESA Publications Division Special Publication SP-642 (CD), 2006.

An improved tropospheric NO2 column retrieval algorithm for the Ozone Monitoring Instrument
K. F. Boersma, H. J. Eskes, R. J. Dirksen, R. J. van der A, J. P. Veefkind, P. Stammes, V. Huijnen, Q. L. Kleipool, M. Sneep, J. Claas, J. Leitao, A. Richter, Y. Zhou, D. Brunner

Abstract/Article:	Atmos. Meas. Tech., 4, 2329-2388, 2011
Product:	NO2 vertical column, NO2 tropospheric column
Institute:	KNMI
Method:	Present an improved tropospheric NO2 column retrieval algorithm (DOMINO) for OMI based on better air mass factors. The focus is on NO2 retrievals from OMI, but the described improvements are of similar importance for NO2 retrievals from the SCIAMACHY series provided by KNMI

Trends, seasonal variability and dominant NOx source derived from a ten year record of NO₂ measured from space
R. J. van der A, H. J. Eskes, K. F. Boersma, T. P. C. van Noije, M. Van Roozendael, I. De Smedt, D. H. M. U. Peters, E. W. Meijer

Abstract/Article:	J. Geophys. Res., vol 113, D04302, doi:10.1029/2007JD009021, 2008
Product:	NO2 vertical column
Institute:	KNMI
Method:	Global distributions of tropospheric NO₂ have been derived for the period 1996-2006 from radiances measured with the satellite instrument SCIAMACHY. A statistical analysis is applied to derive trends and seasonal variability for this period on a global scale
