  • Abstract
    Launched on the EOS Terra satellite on December 18, 1999, the MOPITT (Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere) instrument has been observing tropospheric carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4 ) since March, 2000. The instrument is now fully functional, and the retrieval algorithms are now being validated. Because of the pioneering aspect of this instrument, validation is a particularly important phase of operations and is the main emphasis of this paper
