Impact of 3D Cloud Structures on the Atmospheric Trace Gas Products from UV-VIS Sounders: Synthetic dataset for validation of trace gas retrieval algorithms

This data set is described in detail in a paper submitted to AMTD: Impact of 3D Cloud Structures on the Atmospheric Trace Gas Products from UV-VIS Sounders - Part I: Synthetic dataset for validation of trace gas retrieval algorithms by Claudia Emde, Huan Yu, Arve Kylling, Michel van Roozendael, Kerstin Stebel, Ben Veihelmann, and Bernhard Mayer The subdirectory boxcloud includes synthetic reflectances for clearsky, 1D cloud and box cloud. The subdirectory les_cloud includes synthetic reflectances for the LES cloud scenario for low earth orbit (leo) and geostationary orbit (geo). All data are provided in netcdf format.
