Demonstration retrievals from "Quantification of the effect of modeled lightning NO2 on UV-visible air mass factors"

Space-borne measurements of tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are up to 10x more sensitive to upper tropospheric NO2 than near-surface NO2 over low reflectivity surfaces. This make the modeling of lightning NO2 in the a priori profiles imperative to accurately retrieve NO2 over regions with significant lightning activity. This is quantified in our work "Quantification of the effect of modeled lightning NO2 on UV-visible air mass factors." This dataset contains the NO2 retrievals used in Section 3.3 of that paper to demonstrate the effect in a real retrieval.
Methods
These retrieval products were produced using version 2.1C of the BEHR retrieval (http://behr.cchem.berkeley.edu/) with custom profiles simulated with varying amounts of lightning NO emissions input instead of the standard profiles and a correction to the temperature profile look up.
