Abstract
Aerosol retrieval from GOME data indicates that new aerosol classes can be found, provided that their optical properties are well defined. Validated results may also be used in climatology studies of the aerosol. The current procedure used for GOME can be also used for SCIAMACHY data, implementing the algorithms and the aerosol classes.
