Retrieval of stratospheric aerosol density profiles from SCIAMACHY limb radiance measurements in the O<sub>2</sub> A-band

In this paper we present an approach to retrieve stratospheric aerosol number densities in the altitude range 10–40 km from SCIAMACHY limb radiance measurements in the spectral range of the O<sub>2</sub> A absorption band, near 760 nm. Here, the characteristic light paths differ for the...
