Project Description
ISOGG is an ESA-funded Project whose goals are:
- To improve the spectroscopic database of CO2, and possibly interfering H2O, to meet the data product requirements for the Copernicus Carbon Dioxide Monitoring mission, CO2M
- To improve the spectroscopic database of O2-A, O2-B, and interfering H2O to meet the data product requirements for TROPOMI and Sentinel-5/UVNS
- To improve the spectroscopic database of CH4 and, possibly, interfering H2O (not included in the SOW) to meet the data product requirements for CO2M and Sentinel-5/UVNS
Previous Projects
ISOGG is continuing the laboratory work performed in the previous project
SEOM-IAS: Improved Atmospheric Spectroscopy Databases
which resulted in spectroscopic databases of CH4, CO, and H2O in the 2.3 µm region, dedicated to TROPOMI on S5P. New UV databases for O3 and SO2 were produced, also dedicated to TROPOMI. Line intensities of O3 were measured in the mid infrared, resolving the long standing discrepancy between remote sensing of O3 in the UV and mid infrared. The new databases were a considerable improvement over existing data and are publicly available:
