19 Day with low trop. NO2 17.06.2013

20 Yang Wang, Hefei Comparison of spatial gradients from azimuth scans and car MAX-DOAS measurements

37 Comparison between measurements and simulations Quantitative comparison of O4 absorption

38 Comparison between measurements and simulations Quantitative comparison of O4 absorption => Scaling factor of ~0.8 is needed

39 Comparison between measurements and simulations Quantitative comparison of O4 absorption

40 Light SourceTelescopeLaser Level Udo Friess Horizontal calibration

41 Can be also performed by scanning the horizon The first derivative has to be calculated Horizon has to be near (strong contrast is needed)

42 Target for elevation scans during day Black velvet Paper stripe Can be performed using artificial contrasts

43 5 consecutive scans, each about 1 min This was just a feasabilty study, the paper stripe was not put to 0° 520 nm

44 New data on MADCAT web page Information on cloud cover Visual inspection BIRA cloud classification MPIC cloud classification Information on aerosols Ceilometer profiles Aeronet AOD http://joseba.mpch-mainz.mpg.de/mad_cat.htm

45 New data on MADCAT web page Data are available in daily overview grahps (see right figure) Aerosol profiles are also available as ASCII files

46 New data on MADCAT web page Information from in-situ measurement stations in Mainz and Wiesbaden: Trace gases (NO, NO 2, O 3, CO, VOCs) Aerosols (pm2.5, pm10, soot) Meteorological parameters (T, p, rel. Hum., prec. Wind speed and direction, global radiation)

47 New data on MADCAT web page Information from in-situ measurement stations in Mainz and Wiesbaden: Trace gases (NO, NO2, O3, CO, VOCs) Aerosols (pm2.5, pm10, soot) Meteorological parameters (T, p, rel. Hum., prec. Wind speed and direction, global radiation)

48 MADCAT is already 2 years ago Currently several important studies are carried out Hopefully there will be more in the near future (further comparison exercises e.g. on H 2 O, Ring effect) Recently comprehensive information on clouds, aerosols, in-situ trace gas and aerosol measurements and meterological parameters are made available on MADCAT website. They should stimulate further in-depth investigations MADCAT developments
