Abstract

The article discusses the intercomparison of ground-based ultraviolet (UV) radiometers conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency of Aosta Valley (ARPA Valle d'Aosta) in Saint-Christophe, Italy from June 8-23, 2010. It states that the downward global solar UV irradiance at the ground have been measured in a synchronized manner and the raw series has been processed by the respective operators. It also explores the development of an algorithm for comparing broadband spectra and data.

Abstract

The article presents a study which examines the impact of clouds on the MAX-DOAS observations during the measurement campaign in Milano, Italy in September 2003. The study applies a MAX-DOAS inversion algorithms for aerosols and trace gases with assumptions on the relative profile shapes, and compares the inversion results to independent measurements. The results show a reasonable agreement between the formaldehyde (HCHO) and aerosol profiles and the MAX-DOAS layer heights.
