Improving ozone profile retrieval from spaceborne UV backscatter spectrometers using convergence behaviour diagnostics

The Ozone Profile Algorithm (OPERA), developed at KNMI, retrieves the vertical ozone distribution from nadir spectral satellite measurements of back scattered sunlight in the ultraviolet and visible wavelength range. To produce consistent global datasets the algorithm needs to have good global perfo...
