The validation of BrO columns relies on the comparison of the total columns to:

  • other satellite datasets, such as the SCIAMACHY, OMI and GOME-2 scientific products;
  • ground-based zenith-sky DOAS instruments from NDACC stations, such as Harestua.

 

The last validation result figures are gathered here.
