Three Years of Sciamachy Carbon Monoxide Measurements
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 mo...
متن کاملAtmospheric carbon gases retrieved from SCIAMACHY by WFM-DOAS: version 0.5 CO and CH4 and impact of calibration improvements on CO2 retrieval
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...
متن کاملMonitoring Nitrogen Oxides with Satellite Instruments: High Resolution Maps from Gome Narrow Swath Mode and Sciamachy
The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) allows to retrieve tropospheric vertical column densities (TVCDs) of NO2. Mean maps of the global distribution of NO2 TVCDs reveal a clear fingerprint of anthropogenic sources due to fossil fuel combustion. However, GOME data suffer from the rather large footprint size of 320 km east-west, leading to a smearing out of the NO2 peaks in the retrieved ...
متن کاملValidation of Carbon Monoxide Total Column Retrievals from SCIAMACHY Observations with NDACC/TCCON Ground-Based Measurements
The objective was to validate the carbon monoxide (CO) total column product inferred from Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography (SCIAMACHY) full-mission (2003–2011) short-wave infrared (SWIR) nadir observations using the Beer InfraRed Retrieval Algorithm (BIRRA). Globally distributed Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) and Total Ca...
متن کاملGlobal carbon monoxide as retrieved from SCIAMACHY by WFM-DOAS
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...
