Abstract

The ERS-2 satellite is intended to make a significant contribution to atmospheric chemistry. It carries the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME). This new instrument is able to measure a range of atmospheric trace constituents both in the troposphere and in the stratosphere. GOME is a nadir-viewing spectrometer which in its normal mode scans across-track in three steps. The field of view maybe varied in size from 120 km by 40 km to 960 km by 40 km. The incoming radiation is dispersed and sensed by four individual detector arrays with 1024 detector pixels. The spectral range is from 240 to 793 nm. This article describes the GOME data processing methods
