The
GOME BrO Level-2 Product
The GOME BrO Level-2 Product consists
in a collection of ASCII files resulting from the BrO evaluation of GOME orbits
using the BIRA-IASB DOAS program, WinDOAS. The following information is
provided : - the date and time in the YYYYMMDDhhmmss format;
- the
pixel number;
- the scan position of the pixel (ECWB);
- the geolocation coordinates
at the 4 corners of the pixel;
- the solar zenith angle measured at pixel center;
- BrO
vertical columns, slant columns and standard deviations in units of 1e13
molec/cm2.
| Last GOME processing: | Reprocessing
of the whole GOME data set in November 2003. See the
GOME BrO retrieval page for further information. |

The SCIAMACHY BrO Level-2 Product
The SCIAMACHY BrO Level-2 product consists in the bromine monoxyde slant
column and vertical column densities retrieved for each ground pixel of
the nadir observations of SCIAMACHY using the DOAS technique. The data
delivery is limited to observations at solar zenith angles less than or
equal to 80 degrees. In the current stage of the product, BrO vertical
columns are derived using stratospheric AMFs (the tropospheric BrO content
is assumed negligible).
The product is delivered as a collection of ASCII files. There is one
entry per ground pixel (all geolocation data are provided), one level-2
file per level-1 file.
In each of these files, the following information is provided:
- the measurement UTC time as YYYYMMDDhhmmss.mmm
- the orbit number, the state id and the pixel id (0=forward, 3=backscan);
- the geolocation coordinates at the 4 corners of the pixel and at the
center of the pixel;
- the solar zenith, viewing zenith and relative azimuth angles;
- BrO vertical columns (VCD), slant columns (SCD) and standard deviations
(SCDE) in units of 1e13 molec/cm2;
- the Air mass factor (AMF) used to calculate vertical columns;
- the RMS of the DOAS fit (RMS)

The 2003-2010 data set has been reprocessed in 2011 and then completed until January 2012
For further information on the DOAS technique used to retrieve the
slant columns, see the Algorithm
