Three Years of Sciamachy Carbon Monoxide Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important atmospheric air pollutant and a good knowledge of its global and regional distribution is of much interest, e.g., for air quality applications. SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT is currently the only satellite instrument that can measure the vertical column of CO with high sensitivity down to the Earth surface due to its nearinfrared channels and its nadir observation mode. Here we present three years (2003-2005) of SCIAMACHY CO column measurements, retrieved with the latest version of our retrieval algorithm (WFM-DOAS version 0.6). We give a short overview about the global multi-year CO data set and present some regional results focusing on south-east/eastern Asia.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important atmospheric constituent affecting air quality and climate. SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT is currently the only satellite instrument that can measure the vertical column of CO with nearly equal sensitivity at all altitudes down to the Earth’s surface because of its near-infrared nadir observations of reflected solar radiation. Here we present three years’ (2003–2005) ...

The three carbon gases carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4) are important atmospheric constituents affecting air quality and climate. The near-infrared nadir spectra measured by SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT contain information on the vertical columns of these gases which we retrieve using a modified DOAS algorithm (WFM-DOAS or WFMD). Our main data products are CO vertical colum...

First results concerning the retrieval of tropospheric carbon monoxide (CO) from satellite solar backscatter radiance measurements in the near-infrared spectral region (∼2.3μm) are presented. The Weighting Function Modified (WFM) DOAS retrieval algorithm has been used to retrieve vertical columns of CO from SCIAMACHY/ENVISAT nadir spectra. We present detailed results for three days from the tim...
