Concept information
Preferred term
TR-L2-CO
Definition
- The TROPOMI instrument onboard Sentinel-5 Precursor is a nadir-viewing, imaging spectrometer covering wavelength bands between the ultraviolet and the shortwave infrared. The instrument uses passive remote sensing techniques to attain its objective by measuring, at the Top Of Atmosphere (TOA), the solar radiation reflected by and radiated from Earth. The TROPOMI instrument, single payload onboard Sentinel-5 Precursor, retrieves the CO global abundance exploiting clear-sky and cloudy-sky Earth radiance measurements in the 2.3 �m spectral range of the shortwave infrared (SWIR) part of the solar spectrum. TROPOMI clear sky observations provide CO total columns with sensitivity to the tropospheric boundary layer. For cloudy atmospheres, the column sensitivity changes according to the light path. The TROPOMI CO retrieval uses the same method employed by SCIAMACHY.
