Validation of MAX-DOAS retrievals of aerosol extinction, SO2, and NO2 through comparison with lidar, sun photometer, active DOAS, and aircraft measurements in the Athabasca oil sands region [PDF]
Vertical profiles of aerosols, NO2, and SO2 were retrieved from Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements at a field site in northern Alberta, Canada, during August and September 2013.

Inversion of tropospheric profiles of aerosol extinction and HCHO and NO2 mixing ratios from MAX-DOAS observations in Milano during the summer of 2003 and comparison with independent data sets [PDF]
We present aerosol and trace gas profiles derived from MAX-DOAS observations. Our inversion scheme is based on simple profile parameterisations used as input for an atmospheric radiative transfer model (forward model).

Report on the MAX-DOAS analysis chain
This document is the report of the activities performed in the frame of the project "WPs-2250-2251: DOAS-BO: Towards a new FRM4DOAS-compliant site - Phase 2''. Here, we briefly introduce the facility of San Pietro Capofiume and the instruments within the site that we exploit for the activities foreseen in this project.

Measurement report: MAX-DOAS measurements characterise Central London ozone pollution episodes during 2022 heatwaves [PDF]
Heatwaves are a substantial health threat in the UK, exacerbated by co-occurrence of ozone pollution episodes. Here we report on the first use of retrieved vertical profiles of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and formaldehyde (HCHO) over Central London from a ...

MAX-DOAS measurements of formaldehyde in the Po-Valley [PDF]
Abstract. During the first measurement campaign of the EU FORMAT project in summer 2002 near Milan, northern Italy, ground-based scattered light differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) measurements were performed using a new multi-axis instrument. From the data set of this four week measurement period, the detailed analysis results of three

Comparison of tropospheric NO2 columns from MAX-DOAS retrievals and regional air quality model simulations [PDF]
Multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) tropospheric NO2 column retrievals from four European measurement stations are compared to simulations from five regional air quality models which contribute to the European regional ...

Cloud and aerosol classification for 2.5 years of MAX-DOAS observations in Wuxi (China) and comparison to independent data sets [PDF]
Multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) observations of trace gases can be strongly influenced by clouds and aerosols. Thus it is important to identify clouds and characterize their properties.
