Air Quality Satellite Monitoring by TROPOMI on Sentinel-5P

Abstract: The recently launched Sentinel satellite mission, the Sentinel-5 Precursor (Sentinel-5P), is one of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) new mission family – Sentinels. The sole payload on Sentinel-5P is the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), a nadir-viewing 108° field-of-view push-broom grating hyperspectral spectrometer, covering the wavelengths of ultraviolet-visible (270 nm – 495 nm), near infrared (675 nm – 775 nm), and shortwave infrared (2305 nm – 2385 nm). Sentinel-5P is the f…
