Retrieval of the optical depth and vertical distribution of particulate scatterers in the atmosphere using O<sub>2</sub> A- and B-band SCIAMACHY observations over Kanpur: a case study

Due to the well-defined vertical profile of O<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere, the strong A-band (757–774 nm) has long been used to estimate vertical distributions of aerosol/cloud from space. We extend this approach to include part of the O<sub>2</sub> B-band (684–688 nm) as w...
