Validation and analysis of MOPITT CO observations of the Amazon Basin
We analyze satellite retrievals of carbon monoxide from the MOPITT (Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere) instrument over the Amazon Basin, focusing on the MOPITT Version 6 ???multispectral??? retrieval product (exploiting both thermal-infrared and near-infrared channels). Validation results...
