Abstract. We present intercomparison results for formaldehyde (HCHO) slant column measurements performed during the Cabauw Intercomparison campaign of Nitrogen Dioxide measuring Instruments (CINDI) that took place in Cabauw, the Netherlands, in summer 2009. During two months, nine atmospheric research groups simultaneously operated MAX-DOAS (MultiAXis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) instruments of various designs to record UV-visible spectra of scattered sunlight at different elevation angles that were analysed using common retrieval settings. The resulting HCHO data set was found to be highly consistent, the mean difference between instruments generally not exceeding 15% or 7.5 × 1015 molec cm−2, for all viewing elevation angles. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis was performed to investigate the uncertainties in the HCHO slant column retrieval when varying key input parameters such as the molecular absorption cross sections, correction terms for the Ring effect or the width and position of the fitting interval. This study led to the identification of potentially important sources of errors associated with cross-correlation effects involving the Ring effect, O4, HCHO and BrO cross sections and the DOAS closure polynomial. As a result, a set of updated recommendations was formulated for HCHO slant column retrieval in the 336.5–359 nm wavelength range. To conclude, an error budget is proposed which distinguishes between systematic and random uncertainties. The total systematic error is estimated to be of the order of 20% and is dominated by uncertainties in absorption cross sections and related spectral cross-correlation effects. For a typical integration time of one minute, random uncertainties range between 5 and 30%, depending on the noise level of individual instruments.

It is commonly observed in medical and financial studies that large volume of time series of count data are collected for several variates. The modelling of such time series and the estimation of parameters under such processes are rather challenging since these high dimensional time series are influenced by time-varying covariates that eventually render the data non-stationary. This paper considers the modelling of a bivariate integer-valued autoregressive (BINAR(1)) process where the innovation terms are distributed under non- stationary Poisson moments. Since the full and conditional likelihood approaches are cumbersome in this situation, a Generalized Quasi-likelihood (GQL) approach is proposed to estimate the regression effects while the serial and time-dependent cross correlation effects are handled by method of moments. This new technique is assessed over several simulation experiments and the results demonstrate that GQL yields consistent estimates and is computationally stable since few non-convergent simulations are reported.
