Description The QA4ECV NO2 Essential Climate Variable precursor product contains harmonized vertical NO2 column data: tropospheric vertical column densities and stratospheric vertical column densities.
The NO2 ECV precursor data in this dataset provides geophysical information for ground pixels observed by the Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Cartography (SCIAMACHY, aboard the EnviSat satellite; overpass time: circa 10:00 hrs) for the period August 2002 to April 2012.
In addition to the vertical NO2 columns, the product contains intermediate results, such as the result of the spectral fit, fitting diagnostics, the averaging kernel, cloud information, and algorithm and product uncertainty estimates.
