GOME-2: calibration, algorithms, data products and validation
Editor(s): R. Munro, J. Tamminen, and P. Stammes
The GOME-2 instrument on EUMETSAT's Metop polar satellite series is a spectrometer observing the Earth in the ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared range. From these spectra many data products are being derived, such as ozone, UV irradiance, NO2, SO2, aerosols, clouds, and other atmospheric constituents. The goal of this Special Issue is to combine and summarize the scientific work related to GOME-2 onboard Metop-A (launched in October 2006) and Metop-B (launched in September 2012). The Special Issue is open for contributions about GOME-2 calibration, level 0-1 and level 1-2 algorithms, data products and validation.
