Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) &the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) GOME Launched in 2004 • GOME (European), OMI (Finnish/USA) are nadir SBUV instruments • Ground pixel (nadir): 320 x 40 km2 (GOME), 13 x 24 km2 (OMI) • 10.30 desc (GOME), 13.45 asc (OMI) cross-equator time • GOME: 3 viewing angles  global coverage within 3 days • OMI: 60 across-track pixels  daily global coverage • O3, NO2, BrO, OClO, SO2, HCHO, H2O, cloud properties

  16. Significant pyrogenic HCHO source over tropics Good: Additional trace gas measurement of biomass burning; effect can be identified largely by firecounts (see below) Bad: Observed HCHO a mixture of biogenic and pyrogenic – difficult to separate without better temporal and spatial resolution GOME Sep 1997 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 X = Active Fire (ATSR) Monthly ATSR Firecounts Slant Column HCHO [1016 molec cm-2] Nov 1997 Day of Year

  23. Final Comments Proper interpretation of HCHO requires an integrated approach, i.e., including surface data, lab data Interpreting space-based HCHO data is still in its infancy – new instruments bring better resolution but also new challenges With the frequency of European heatwaves projected to increase the role of BVOCs in future UK air quality must be better quantified
