1 QA4ECV WP3 Workshop MPIC Mainz, March 2015 Introduction Michel Van Roozendael BIRA-IASB QA4ECV WP3 Workshop MPIC Mainz, March

2 QA4ECV WP3 Tasks Objective: Provide traceable quality assurance for the independent reference data used in the validation of satellite atmospheric ECV products (NO 2, HCHO, CO) T3.5 - Establish independent Atmosphere reference data (M1-24) Collect NO 2 and HCHO reference data from MAXDOAS sites. Agree on harmonised data processing, characterisation and reporting T3.6 - Quality assurance of Atmosphere reference data (M13-30) Characterize the uncertainties of MAXDOAS NO 2 and HCHO measurements, including cloud interference and spatial representativeness effects T3.7 - Validation of Atmosphere reference data (M25-48) Validate MAXDOAS data against long-path DOAS, in-situ and NO 2 sonde QA4ECV WP3 Workshop MPIC Mainz, March
