Description

This dataset includes the formic acid (HCOOH) total columns (in molecules cm-2) obtained from the IASI/Metop-A satellite observations over 2010-2012, using the Artificial Neural Network for IASI (ANNI) v3R retrieval framework. The data are already filtered for clouds and poor measurement sensitivity. Description of the formic acid product and retrieval method can be found in Franco et al. (2018). Before the use of this dataset, please get in touch first with the main developers (Bruno Franco (bfranco@ulb.ac.be) and Lieven Clarisse (lclariss@ulb.ac.be) from which use advices and more recent product versions can be obtained.
