GOME is a nadir-viewing spectrometer which observes solar radiation transmitted through or scattered from the Earth's atmosphere or from its surface. The recorded spectra is used to derive a detailed picture of the atmosphere's content of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, water wapor, oxygen/oxygen dimer and bromine oxide and other trace gases. The ERS-2 orbit provides global Earth coverage every three days. Related URL: http://earth.esa.int/gome Online Resources http://earth.esa.int/gome |
