validation results

SCIAMACHY SO2 vertical column (IFE) validation literature:

SO₂ emissions and lifetimes: Estimates from inverse modeling using in situ and global, space based (SCIAMACHY and OMI) observations;
C. Lee, R. V. Martin, A. van Donkelaar, H Lee, R. R. Dickerson, J. C. Hains, N. Krotkov, A. Richter, K. Vinnikov, J. J. Schwab

Abstract/Article:	J. Geophys. Res, vol 116, D06304, doi:10.1029/2010JD014758, 2011
Product:	SO2 vertical column
Institute:	IUP/IFE, University of Bremen
Method:	Top down constraints on global SO₂ emissions are inferred through inverse modeling using SO₂ column observations from SCIAMACHY and OMI satellite instruments

C. Lee, A. Richter, M. Weber, J. P. Burrows

Abstract/Article:	Atmos. Chem. Phys., 8, 6137-6145, 2008
Product:	SO2 vertical column
Institute:	IUP/IFE University of Bremen
Method:	The WFDOAS SO₂ retrieval from SCIAMACHY data are presented and compared to those of the Standard DOAS method for cases of background conditions and volcanic eruption
