Top-down emission quantification from remote sensing observations

Europe is preparing the Copernicus CO2 Monitoring (CO2M) satellite mission, which will be constellation of satellites equipped with imaging spectrometers measuring CO2, methane and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) along a 250 km wide swath with 4 km2 spatial resolution. The CO2M mission will be a key component of the future European CO2 emission monitoring and verification support system. Empa is involved in several studies that support the prepration of the system.
