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: <strong>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</strong> by Claudia Emde, Huan Yu, Arve Kylling, Michel van Roozendael, Kerstin Stebel, Ben Veihelmann, and<br> Bernhard Mayer The subdirectory <em>boxcloud</em> includes synthetic reflectances for clearsky, 1D cloud and box cloud. The subdirectory <em>les_cloud</em> includes synthetic reflectances for the LES cloud scenario for low earth orbit (<em>leo</em>) and geostationary orbit (<em>geo</em>). All data are provided in <em>netcdf</em> format.
