July 2011 Regional Nature Atmosphere:
1) Stratospheric temperature, water vapor, and ozone profiles from the NCEP
Global Forecasting System (GFS)
2) Troposphere temperature, water vapor, and trace gas profiles from a nested
NAM-CMAQ air quality simulation that used GFS ozone and meteorology for
lateral boundary conditions.
3) Stratospheric and upper troposphere NO2, HCHO, SO2 and CO were obtained
from the Real-time Air Quality Modeling System (RAQMS).

(1) Same code (VLIDORT 2.6) but in scalar mode (ignoring polarization),
(2) VLIDORT in conjunction with fast PCA-based approach - developed by Vijay
Natraj in collaboration with Rob Spurr
(3) Exact single scattering computation in conjunction with two-stream multiple
scattering
(4) Dutch KNMI doubling-adding code (DAK)
