SENTINEL-5P+ INNOVATION – AEROSOL OPTICAL DEPTH (AOD) AND BIDIRECTIONAL REFLECTANCE DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION (BRDF)
Prime company: GRASP-SAS (FR)The capability of Sentinel-5P for aerosol monitoring is currently not used to its full potential. However, satellite observations in the spectral range of approximately 340 – 400 nm are known to have unique sensitivity to elevation and absorption of tropospheric aerosols. Traditionally, this sensitivity is used in many ozone monitoring instruments such as TOMS, GOME-1, …
