. Since its launch in 2017, Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on S-5P has provided very high quality data using daily global coverage for a number of key atmospheric trace gases. Over its first 1000 d in operation, the short-wave infrared (SWIR) module has been very stable, and the continuously monitored calibration has remained of high quality. This calibration relies on a combination of extensive pre-launch and post-launch measurements, complemented by regular monitoring of internal light sources and background measurements.In this paper we present a method and results for independent validation of the SWIR module calibration and instrument stability by examining the signal stability of a sample of 23 pseudo-invariant calibration desert sites. The data covers over 2 years of operational data.With a Lambertian surface assumption, the results show that the SWIR module has little to no instrument degradation down to an accuracy of about 0.3 % yr−1, validating results obtained from the internal calibration suite. The method presented here will be used as ongoing validation of the SWIR calibration.
