S2K MOPITT Data Released

Submitted by ORNL DAAC Staff on

The ORNL DAAC announces the release of a new SAFARI 2000 data set.

The data set "SAFARI 2000 MOPITT Tropospheric Carbon Monoxide, Southern Africa, Dry Season 2000" contains measurements derived from the MOPITT (Measurements Of Pollution In The Troposphere) instrument on the NASA Terra Satellite. Daily average CO concentrations are reported at 1x1 degree resolution for daytime swaths at 2 heights, 350 and 700 hPa, for the dry season, August 1-September 30, 2000.

The SAFARI 2000 project was conducted during 1999-2001 to develop a better understanding of the earth-atmosphere-human system in southern Africa. Visit our SAFARI 2000 page to learn more about the project and to access associated data maintained by the ORNL DAAC.
