Horizontal and vertical distribution of trace gases
Horizontal and vertical distribution of trace gases
The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment–2 (GOME-2) is a further development of GOME, a sensor that was used successfully on the ESA satellite ERS-2 that was in service from 1995 to 2011. In contrast to its predecessor, the GOME-2 provides almost global coverage on a daily basis and achieves four times the spatial resolution in the process. The instrument measures the horizontal and vertical distribution of trace gases. By virtue of the high time and spatial resolution, the spectrometer can track the origin of airborne pollutants over population centres and their subsequent movements.
