Time dependent profile retrieval of UV/vis absorbing radicals from balloon-borne limb measurements – a case study on NO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>3</sub>

A new "Bayesian" minimization algorithm for the retrieval of the diurnal variation of UV/vis absorbing radicals (O<sub>3</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, BrO, OClO and HONO) from balloon-borne limb scattered skylight observations is discussed. The method evaluates spectroscop...
