Time-series of BrO vertical profiles and corresponding total columns retrieved from ground-based zenith-sky DOAS observations at Harestua (60°N, 10°E) are compared to ENVISAT/SCIAMACHY limb and nadir and GOME scientific products. Retrieval algorithms from the following groups are involved in the comparison exercise: IUP-Bremen, IUP-Heidelberg, and Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics for SCIAMACHY limb BrO profiles, BIRA-IASB and IUP-Bremen for SCIAMACHY nadir BrO total columns, and BIRA-IASB for GOME BrO total columns. Comparisons between ground-based UV-visible and SCIAMACHY and GOME data cover the 2002-2004 period and are performed in the same photochemical conditions since the BIRA-IASB profiling algorithm includes a stacked box photochemical model, enabling the retrieval of BrO profiles at any solar zenith angle.
