QA4ECV HCHO tropospheric column L2 data from GOME-2

The QA4ECV HCHO Essential Climate Variable precursor product contains harmonized HCHO tropospheric column densities. The HCHO ECV precursor data in this dataset provides geophysical information for ground pixels observed by the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2, aboard the MetOp-A satellite; overpass time: circa 09:30 hrs) for the period January 2007 onwards;

In addition to the tropospheric HCHO columns, the product contains intermediate results, such as the result of the spectral fit, fitting diagnostics, the averaging kernel, cloud information, and algorithm and product uncertainty estimates.

L3 monthly grids, based on this L2 dataset, are distributed here https://doi.org/10.18758/oitmu0qb.
