Xianghe HCHO MAX-DOAS MMF and MAPA data from the FRM4DOAS processing system, 2018-2021

MAXDOAS vertical profile data of HCHO at XIANGHE (39.75° N, 116.96° E, CHINA) from BIRA.IASB instrument nr 007 and uv channel 002 for the period 6/2018-2021.
Data retrieval is performed using the Optimal-Estimation-based Mexican Maxdoas Fit algorithm (MMF; Friedrich et al., 2019, https://doi.org/10.5194/amt-12-2545-2019) and the MAPA parametrized approach (Mainz Profile Algorithm, Beirle et al., 2019, https://doi.org/10.5194/amt-12-1785-2019), as implemented in the ESA FRM4DOAS centralized processing.
