Conclusions• difference of performance between dark/bright limb conditions
• lack of knowledge of the model contribution in these quantities
• difficult to validate the HRTP (reflection on the spatio-temporal differences)
• no bias larger than 10% - good• bias lesser than 1% between 15-35 km
• seems to be good but the validation must continue
