Short summary

Atmospheric ammonia (NH₃) measured by the IASI satellite instrument is compared to observations from ground-based FTIR instruments. The seasonal cycles of NH₃ in both datasets are consistent for most sites. Correlations are found to be high at sites with considerable NH₃ levels, whereas correlations are lower at sites with low NH₃ levels close to the detection limit of the IASI instrument. The study's results further indicate that the IASI-NH₃ product performs better than earlier estimates.
