Effect of surface BRDF of various land cover types on geostationary observations of tropospheric NO<sub>2</sub>

We investigated the effect of surface reflectance anisotropy, bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), on satellite retrievals of tropospheric NO<sub>2</sub>. We assume the geometry of geostationary measurements over Tokyo, which is one of the worst air-polluted regions in...
