Monitoring of atmospheric composition with IASI and MOPITT: CO distributions and trends

Résumé

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important trace gas for understanding air quality and atmospheric composition. It is a good tracer of pollution plumes and atmospheric dynamics. In this talk we describe the analysis of global and regional CO distributions as seen by both the MOPITT/Terra and IASI/MetOp missions, from mid-2007 up to now. Long term trends for IASI and MOPITT (version 3, 4 and 5) CO total columns over specific areas are presented, and show excellent agreement. CO distributions over polluted and clean regions are compared. Preliminary results of a study comparing the surface CO level for the two sounders over different cities will be presented, using MOPITT version 5 products that include the NIR and show a better sensitivity near the ground. Finally, this talk will also illustrate how the data processed at ULB-LATMOS are currently assimilated in the MACC project in near-real time in order to generate the CO pollution forecasts over Europe. Surface CO obtained after assimilation show better agreement with ground-based station measurements.
