Abstract
GOME (Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment) is an ESA satellite project, centered around the development of a new, diode-array based spectrometer [1]. It will measure the radiation back-scattered from the atmosphere and Earth's surface in the ultraviolet and visible range in nadir-viewing direction. This instrument will be launched in late 1994 on board the ERS-II satellite. The medium-high resolution (0.2 to 0.4 nm) and extended wavelength coverage (240 to 790 nm) of the instrument will enable profiles or column densities of different trace gases to be measured such as of O3, NO2, NO3, ClO, OClO, BrO, HCHO, and SO2 . In addition, the distribution of aerosols and surface spectral reflectance properties can be investigated.
