内容記述MOPITT (Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere) is an instrument that will fly on the EOS AM-1 Polar Orbiting Platform, to be launched in mid-1998. The instrument accurately measures the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4) gas in the troposphere, using novel and conventional gas correlation spectroscopy techniques. These techniques are used to measure both the column amount and the vertical profile of the two gases in the troposphere. The instrument is nadir viewing and has cross-track scanning ability. It measures upwelling IR radiation through the atmosphere in the 4.6-micron and 2.3-micron bands for CO detection, and 2.2-micron for CH4. The instrument performance is enhanced using Stirling cycle mechanical coolers to maintain the IR detectors at less than 100 K. MOPITT has a total of eight detector channels to measure the total column of atmospheric CH4 gas to a precision of 1 percent, and to measure CO profiles to a precision of 10 percent. The instrument is self-calibrating to ensure data validity using internal targets and an external cold space view.
