Abstract
The HPC project GLOMIR+ (GLObal MUSICA IASI Retrievals - plus) has the objective to generate a global, multi-year dataset for various atmospheric trace gases based on thermal nadir spectra measured by the sensor IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) aboard the EUMETSAT’s polar orbiting satellites Metop-A, -B, and -C. The Metop/IASI mission combines high spectral resolution and low measurement noise with high horizontal and temporal coverage (12 km ground pixel, global, twice daily). Figure 1 shows the measurement geometry of IASI. The polar orbit in combination with a wide across track scanning angle ensures a global coverage twice per day. The IASI measurements started in 2007 and in the context of an already approved successor mission (launch of IASI-NG on Metop-SG satellites is currently scheduled for early 2024) observations are guaranteed until the late 2030s. This unprecedented climate and weather research potential is due to the strong support by the European meteorological organizations.
