Journal ArticleDOI

Operational carbon monoxide retrieval algorithm and selected results for the MOPITT instrument

TL;DR: The MOPITT CO retrieval algorithm employs a nonlinear optimal estimation method to iteratively solve for the CO profile which is statistically most consistent with both the satellite-measured radiances and a priori information as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Satellite-observed pollution from Southern Hemisphere biomass burning.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the 2003 Southern Hemisphere burning season with particular emphasis on the months of peak fire activity in September and October, and compared the MOPITT and MODIS measurements as a way of estimating the regional aerosol lifetime.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observations of carbon monoxide and aerosols from the Terra satellite: Northern Hemisphere variability

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of the seasonal and recent interannual variability of the fine mode AOD and CO column, first considering the variation of the global zonal average for both quantities, and then concentrating on several geographical regions with the aim of isolating different emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) Instrument: Overall Performance and Calibration Requirements

TL;DR: The Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument will monitor the global concentrations of carbon monoxide and methane as discussed by the authors, and it will be flown on the Earth Observing System Satellite AM-I.
