Description
During this presentation we present recent developments within the international NDACC (network for the detection of atmospheric composition change) and TCCON (total carbon column observing network) as well as each network's strenghts and weakenesses with respect to validation purposes. The EU NORS, QA4ECV and GAIACLIM projects have improved the networks internal consistency of selected targets, specifically wrt the reporting of measurement uncertainties. The EU Copernicus program will support NDACC for rapid delivery of measurement data for selected instruments and targets for use in operational model and satellite validation. Likewise TCCON is continuously improving its network, retrieval strategy and delivery mode.
