(2017, methodology): “(2015) developed a radiative transfer interface to the Vector Linearized Discrete Ordinate Radiative Transfer (VLIDORT) radiative transfer code (Spurr 2006) to simulate the UV AI from the GEOS-5 aerosol fields at the OMI footprint.”
Using the OMI aerosol index and absorption aerosol optical depth to evaluate the NASA MERRA Aerosol Reanalysis (2014, methodology): “Simulations of AI were performed from GEOS-5 assimilated aerosol fields at OMI observation locations using the radiative transfer code VLIDORT (Vector LInearized Discrete Ordinate Radiative Transfer) described in Spurr (2006).”
Updated Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Ozone Monitoring Instrument (SAO OMI) formaldehyde retrieval (2015, methodology): “We have calculated the scattering weights using the radiative transfer model VLIDORT version 2.4RT (Spurr, 2006). w(z) usually depends on the wavelength and the viewing geometry.”
