Methods:

The present NDACC MAX-DOAS Service data sets are generated by the FRM₄DOAS central processing facility (see http://frm4doas.aeronomie.be/index.php), which includes the following algorithms for the retrieval of the different Service products:

Lower tropospheric NO₂ and HCHO vertical profiles:TROPO algorithm based on the Optimal-Estimation-based Mexican Maxdoas Fit algorithm (MMF; Friedrich et al., 2019)using the parameterized MAinz Profile Algorithm (MAPA; Beirle et al., 2019) retrieval results as quality control.

Total O₃ column:NDACC twilight zenith-sky approach algorithm (Hendrick et al., 2011).

Stratospheric NO₂ vertical profile:Twilight zenith-sky Optimal-Estimation-based algorithm developed at BIRA (Hendrick et al., 2004).
