WinDOAS The experience of BIRA-IASB in the development and the improvement of DOAS algorithms goes back in the early nineties with the atmospheric research activities using ground-based UV-Visible DOAS spectrometers aiming at the long-term monitoring minor components involved in the catalytic destruction of the ozone layer or the anthropogenic pollution. WinDOAS is the result of more than 18 years of expertise in DOAS retrieval from ground-based and satellites measurements. It combines some powerful DOAS tools and a friendly user interface. The retrieval results have been validated extensively through different campaigns. The program has known a success story : first developed for DOAS activities at BIRA-IASB, it is now used worldwide and for many different DOAS applications (ground-based, satellites, balloons, long-path ).Last update on 21 April 2009 Be careful : WinDOAS is only supported by Windows operating system. Because of the new cross-platform QDOAS user interface is intended to replace it, no new development will be operated on WinDOAS anymore and it is recommended to move to QDOAS now. Because the user interface and the engine of QDOAS are similar to WinDOAS ones, WinDOAS users should move easily to QDOAS. The user interface
