Conclusions • Horizontal gradients can be determined from 4-azimuth MAX-DOAS observations => information on location of sources • 3D-distribution of the sensitivity of MAX-DOAS depends strongly on wavelength and aerosol load • horizontal area with box-AMF > 1 ranges typically from ~3 km to ~30 km • spatial resolution of future satellite instruments maches that of MAX-DOAS observations (or is even finer)
