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.
