A comparison of OEM CO retrievals from the IASI and MOPITT instruments (2011)
Journal Article
Illingworth, S. M., Remedios, J. J., Boesch, H., Ho, S., Edwards, D., Palmer, P., & Gonzi, S. (2011). A comparison of OEM CO retrievals from the IASI and MOPITT instruments. Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 4, 775-793. https://doi.org/10.5194/amt-4-775-2011

Observations of atmospheric carbon monoxide (CO) can only be made on continental and global scales by remote sensing instruments situated in space. One such instrument is the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI), producing spectrally r... Read More about A comparison of OEM CO retrievals from the IASI and MOPITT instruments.
