Abstract
The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment–2 (GOME–2), is an optical spectrometer, fed by a scan mirror which enables across–track scanning in nadir, as well as sideways viewing for polar coverage and instrument characterisation measurements using the moon. The scan mirror directs light into a telescope, designed to match the field of view of the instrument to the dimensions of the entrance slit. This scan mirror can also be directed towards internal calibration sources or towards a diffuser plate for calibration measurements using the sun.
This dataset contains atmospheric spectra (Level 1b data) from the GOME-2 instrument on-board the Eumetsat Polar System (EPS) Metop-A satellite.

| Abstract | This computation involved: DETAILS NEEDED - COMPUTATION CREATED FOR SATELLITE COMPOSITE. deployed on Metop-A. Metop-A, launched on 19 October 2006, represents the first in a series of three satellites forming the space segment of the EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS). Metop-A is Europe's first polar-orbiting meteorological satellite <div property="cedacat:introduction"> <div class="introduction">Introduction</div> <p>EPS Metop is a series of polar orbiting meteorological satellites operated by Eumetsat. The satellites are all part of the Eumetsat Polar System. The first of the series, Metop-A, was launched on October 19, 2006. </p><p>Metop-A has been designed to work in conjunction with the NOAA satellite system whereby the two satellites fly in complementary orbits. Metop-A&#8217;s polar orbit is Sun synchronous, so that the satellite track along the Earth is always at the same local time, in this case in the mid-morning. NOAA will continue to operate its mid-afternoon orbit satellite service as part of the Polar Orbit Enviromental Satellites (POES) system. <br />With an array of sophisticated instrumentation, Metop-A provides data of unprecedented accuracy and resolution on a host of different variables such as temperature and humidity, ocean surface wind speed and direction and concentrations of ozone and other trace gases &#8211; thus marking a major advance in global weather forecasting and climate monitoring capabilities.</p> <p>Instruments on board Metop-A are as follows: </p><ul> <li>IASI</li> <li>GOME-2</li> <li>ASCAT</li> <li>GRAS</li> <li>AVHRR/3</li> <li>MHS</li> <li>AMSU-A</li> <li>HIRS/4</li> </ul> <p /> </div> |
