Table 1.
List of current MUSICA NDACC/FTIR sites (ordered from North to South) and available aposteriori processed {q,δD} data record. DOFS (Degree Of Freedom for Signal) is a parameter of the information content in the retrieved data, whereby DOFS> 1.0 means weak profiling capability. This table is adopted from Barthlott et al. [2016].
