Retrieval

Base Class

class skdoas.retrieval.base.Retrieval

Class used to perform a complete DOAS-style retrieval, including the SCD spectral fitting and AMF correction.

OMI NO2 Standard Product V2.1 - Total Column

class skdoas.retrieval.omno2.Retrieval_OMNO2_TotalColumnOnly(slant_column: SlantColumn = None, air_mass_factor: AirMassFactor = None, cross_section: CrossSection = None, ring_spectrum: RingSpectrum = None, solar_spectrum: SolarSpectrum = None, lineshape: LineShape = None, atmosphere: Atmosphere = None, box_air_mass_factor: BoxAirMassFactor = None)

This retrieval is based on the OMI Version 2.1 NO2 standard product described in Bucsela et al 2013.

Includes:

  • slant column fitting in the 405 to 465 nm window considering NO2, H2O, O3 and the Ring effect

  • equivalent air mass factor formulation (in altitude rather than pressure) with a NO2 temperature correction

  • full SCD error analysis

  • full AMF error analysis

Does not (yet) include:

  • ability to deal with cloud cover

  • troposphere-stratosphere separation

OMI NO2 Standard Product V2.1 - Tropospheric Column

class skdoas.retrieval.omno2.Retrieval_OMNO2(slant_column: SlantColumn = None, air_mass_factor: AirMassFactor = None, cross_section: CrossSection = None, ring_spectrum: RingSpectrum = None, solar_spectrum: SolarSpectrum = None, lineshape: LineShape = None, atmosphere: Atmosphere = None, box_air_mass_factor: BoxAirMassFactor = None)

This retrieval is based on the OMI Version 2.1 NO2 standard product described in Bucsela et al 2013. Stratosphere-troposphere separation (STS) is done simply with an assumed NO2 profile and tropopause altitude - the STS algorithm described in Bucsela et al 2013 is not used.

Includes:

  • slant column fitting in the 405 to 465 nm window considering NO2, H2O, O3 and the Ring effect

  • equivalent air mass factor formulation (in altitude rather than pressure) with a NO2 temperature correction

  • simplified stratosphere-troposphere separation

  • full SCD error analysis

  • full AMF error analysis

Does not (yet) include:

  • ability to deal with cloud cover

OMI DOAS Total Ozone Prodcut

class skdoas.retrieval.omdoao3.Retrieval_OMDOAO3(slant_column: SlantColumn = None, air_mass_factor: AirMassFactor = None, cross_section: CrossSection = None, lineshape: LineShape = None, atmosphere: Atmosphere = None, box_air_mass_factor: BoxAirMassFactor = None)

This retrieval is based on the OMI DOAS total ozone algorithm described in Veefkind et al 2006.

Includes:

  • slant column fitting in the 331.6 to 336.6 nm window considering temperature-dependent O3 cross sections

  • a retrieved effective temperature (an average weighted according to ozone concentration)

  • SCD error anlysis

Does not (yet) include:

  • ability to deal with cloud cover

  • ring effect

  • full AMF error analysis
