This ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project will develop satellite-based long term climate data records of the GCOS Precursorsfor Aerosol and Ozone Essential Climate Variable (ECV). This ECV includes the short-lived atmospheric trace gases: nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), formaldehyde (HCHO), and ammonia (NH3). These gases are emitted to the atmosphere by many different anthropogenic and natural processes and cause the formation of secondary aerosols and tropospheric ozone, which are harmful to animal and plant life, perturb the Earth’s radiative balance, and affect the lifetimes of other climatically important atmospheric constituents. Working in close liaison with climate data users, the project shall focus on building consistent/harmonised long term multi-satellite mission climate data records from satellite instruments such as GOME, SCIAMACHY, GOME-2, OMI, TROPOMI, IASI, and MOPITT, including a thorough characterisation of uncertainties.
