          <gmd:abstract>
            <gco:CharacterString>The European Space Agency (ESA) Precursors for Aerosols and Ozone Climate Change Initiative (Precursors CCI) project is part of ESA&#x27;s Climate Change Initiative (CCI) to produce long term datasets of Essential Climate Variables derived from global satellite data.

This project is developing long-term climate data records of the GCOS Precursors for Aerosol and Ozone Essential Climate Variable. Precursors include the short-lived atmospheric trace gases: nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), formaldehyde (HCHO), and ammonia (NH3).

Working in close liaison with climate data users, the project focuses on building consistent/harmonised long term multi-satellite mission climate data records from satellite instruments including GOME, SCIAMACHY, GOME-2, OMI, TROPOMI, IASI, and MOPITT.

The resulting datasets will include both single sensor level-2 and level-3 gridded products but also unique multi-sensor merged data series covering, for some variables, almost 3 decades of observations. These products will be fully documented according to CCI standards, and generated in a common data format following the netCDF CF metadata conventions.</gco:CharacterString>
