Methods during the measurement campaigns
1. Calibration and intercomparison of all instruments at one site
2. Installation of instruments at the sites
3. Regular service and calibration of instruments

Average differences between stations
- Clear sky : < ±5% (no pollution effect) - Cloudy conditions: up to 60%
Sub-Pixel fluctuations
- Clear sky : < ±5% within 5 km (1 h average) - Cloudy conditions: up to 200% and even larger
- Sub-pixel variation decreases with increasing time averaging: 3 h average: variation <20% within a 10 km distance

Conclusion Vienna Campaign (2)
Comparison with OMI UV:
- Clear sky: OMI/ground data: 1-1.5- Cloudy: OMI/ground data: 0.5-4.5
