Estimation of stratospheric and tropospheric aerosol loading using radiance measurements in the O2A band

Abstract
Radiance measurements in the O2A-band are sensitive to changes of optical depth of stratospheric and of tropospheric aerosols. There results a chance to use these measurements for separate estimation of optical depth of stratospheric and of tropospheric aerosols. First inversion results using simulated data are used to evaluate accuracy of stratospheric optical depth estimation. Possible applications are discussed.
