On the improvement of NO<sub>2</sub> satellite retrievals – aerosol impact on the airmass factors

The accurate determination of nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) tropospheric vertical columns from satellite measurements depends strongly on the airmass factor (AMF) used. A sensitivity study was performed with the radiative transfer model SCIATRAN to better understand the impact of aer...
