Short summary

We have developed artificial neural network algorithms to retrieve aerosol layer height from satellite OMI observations of the 477 nm O₂–O₂ spectral band. Based on 3-year (2005–2007) cloud-free scenes over north-east Asia, the results show uncertainties of 260–800 m when aerosol optical thickness is larger than 1. These algorithms also enable aerosol optical thickness retrievals by exploring the OMI continuum reflectance. These results may be used for future trace gas retrievals from TROPOMI.
