Retrieval of near-surface sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentrations at a global scale using IASI satellite observations
International audience Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is an atmospheric trace gas with both natural and anthropogenic sources. In the troposphere, SO2 released by industrial activities mainly stays close to the ground level. The IASI/MetOp infrared remote sensor has shown over the years good performances for...
