Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellites (MAPS) 1994 Correlative Atmospheric Carbon Monoxide Mixing Ratios, CDIAC DB-1020

Entry ID: CDIAC_DB1020

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: During 1981 and 1984 flights of the Space Shuttle, the Measurement of
Air Pollution from Satellites (MAPS) instrument measured carbon
monoxide (CO) using gas correlation filter radiometry. Correlative
measurements from the ground and aircraft of CO in the middle
troposphere were inconsistent. In the 1994 MAPS flights, a correlative
measurement program was designed and ...
