The EOS-CHEM Mission
Abstract
The EOS-CHEM Mission is currently scheduled for launch in late 2002. The payload consists of four instruments: a microwave limb sounder, MLS, an infrared limb sounder, HIRDLS, an infrared nadir and limb Fourier transform spectrometer, TES, and a UV backscatter sounder, OMI, The science objectives of the CHEM mission will be discussed as well as the observing strategies. The limb instruments are designed to make near coincidental measurements of the same air mass thus providing a nearly complete assessment of key stratospheric trace gases. The nadir instruments will provide the first global measurements of tropospheric ozone and the tropospheric ozone residual.
