TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral variations of the backscattered radiances are used to separate aerosol absorption from scattering effects, which can be used to identify several aerosol types, ranging from nonabsorbing sulfates to highly UV-absorbing mineral dust.

TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm for the near-real time retrieval of tropospheric NO2 columns from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) is presented. But the method is based on the combined retrieval-assimilation-modeling approach developed at KNMI for off-line NO2 from the GOME and SCIAMACHY satellite instruments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a retrieval of tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) columns from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) satellite instrument that improved in several ways over previous retrievals, especially in accounting of Rayleigh and cloud scattering.

TL;DR: The smoke, clouds, and radiation-Brazil (SCAR-B) field project as mentioned in this paper has been used to study biomass burning, emphasizing measurements of surface biomass, fires, smoke aerosol and trace gases, clouds and radiation.

TL;DR: The 1992 global average total ozone, measured by the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) on the Nimbus-7 satellite, was 2 to 3 percent lower than any earlier year observed by TOMS.
