Abstract

Launched on the EOS Terra satellite on December 18, 1999, the MOPITT (Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere) instrument has been observing tropospheric carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4) since March, 2000. The instrument is now fully functional, and the retrieval algorithms are now being validated. Because of the pioneering aspect of this instrument, validation is a particularly important phase of operations and is the main emphasis of this paper.
