Effects of a priori profile shape assumptions on comparisons between satellite NO<sub>2</sub> columns and model simulations
<p>A critical step in satellite retrievals of trace gas columns is the calculation of the air mass factor (AMF) used to convert observed slant columns to vertical columns. This calculation requires a priori information on the shape of the vertical profile. As a result, comparisons between sat...
