The use of satellite based remote sensing of pollution to define background concentrations for atmospheric models

摘要

In this study, we combined two different spaceborne Remote Sensing instruments to deduce daily height resolved ozone concentrations over the European continent. Since this work has been perofrmed as part of the RIFTOZ project (Regional Differences in Tropospheric Ozone in Europe), carried out for the European Community's 4~(th) Framework `Environment and Climate' Research Programme, our attention focused on ozone retrieval in the troposphere.
