(author)This review paper provides a framework for the application of the Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) methodology to satellite observations of atmospheric constituents relevant for air quality. The OSSEs are experiments used to determine the potential benefit of future observing systems using an existing monitoring or forecasting...article 2015

Curier, R.L. (author), Kranenburg, R. (author), Segers, A.J.S. (author), Timmermans, R.M.A. (author), Schaap, M. (author)In this study trends in the tropospheric NO2 concentrations during 2005-2010 across Europe were derived from the synergistic use of OMI NO2 tropospheric columns and the chemistry transport model LOTOS-EUROS and were compared to reported NOx emissions. The chemistry transport model captures a large fraction of the variability in NO2 columns at a...article 2014

Curier, R.L. (author), Eskes, H. (author), Schaap, M. (author), Timmermans, R. (author), Segers, A. (author), Swart, D. (author)Emission estimates from inverse modelling has drawn a lot of attention in the recent years. In this study we use OMI tropospheric NO2 columns to set up an inverse modeling method and estimate the NOx emission trends over Europe. In this paper, a case study to test the method and evaluate the scaling factors for the emission is presented....conference paper 2011

(author)The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) multiwavelength algorithm has been developed to retrieve aerosol optical depth using OMI-measured reflectance at the top of the atmosphere. This algorithm was further developed by using surface reflectance data from a field campaign in Cabauw (The Netherlands), a new cloud-screening method, and a global...article 2008

(author), Leeuw, G.de (author)We present the aerosol optical depth retrieved from OMI measurements using the multi-wavelengthm algorithm for two different environments: over Western Europe where the aerosols are weakly absorbing and over the Amazon basin where aerosol optical properties are governed by biomass burning. The results are evaluated by comparison with MODIS data....conference paper 2007
