Another satellite 1 step closer to launch - Metop-SGA1 has arrived in French Guiana!

The satellite will be transported to the Guiana Space Centre to the northwest of #Kourou, from where it will be launched in August. πŸš€

Short description:
The IASI reprocessed ozone climate data record includes ozone profiles and meteorological variables reprocessed with the last version of the Eumetsat Level 2 processor and the version v20151001 of FORLI software.

It provides stable, high-quality data for climate studies and its results are consistent with those of the NRT processing.

This CDR can be used to estimate ozone trends relevant to air quality and climate studies, to monitor the evolution of the Antarctic ozone layer

Nairobi and it's surrounding area. The high NO2 values are over the city itself and the other heavily populated areas near Nairobi. The NO2 values over countryside are much smaller due to lacking traffic.

Casablanca, Marocco, and it's surrounding area. The high NO2 values are over the city itself and the other main cities along the coast like Rabat, Agadir and inland cities like Marrakesh. The NO2 values over countryside and Atlantic sea are much smaller.

Here are examples of GOME-2 B&C Level 3 Tropospheric NO2 for two African cities, Nairobi and Casablanca, annual mean 2024. NO2 is produced mainly in combustion of fossil fuels (coal, gas and oil) and especially fuel used in cars. Click images to get larger view.
