Pre-launch calibration results of the TROPOMI payload on-board the Sentinel 5 Precursor satellite

Abstract: Abstract. The Sentinel 5 precursor satellite was successfully launched on 13th October 2017, carrying the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument TROPOMI as its single payload. TROPOMI is the next generation atmospheric sounding instrument, continuing the successes of GOME, SCIAMACHY, OMI and OMPs, with higher spatial resolution, improved sensitivity and extended wavelength range. The instrument contains four spectrometers, divided over two modules sharing a common telescope, measuring the ultraviolet, visible, nea… Show more

“…The three measurement data sets (irradiance, radiance and diode lasers) are corrected for detector features such as memory and pixel response nonuniformity (PRNU), using the operational level-1b processor developed by KNMI (Kleipool et al, 2018). Changes of the background signal are removed by dedicated background measurements, which include offset, detector dark current and thermal background signal.…”

“…The ISRF measurements are part of the on-ground calibration campaign performed at the Centre Spatial de Liège (CSL) in Belgium (Kleipool et al, 2018). The limited time slot did not allow us to perform the measurements with a very accurate wavelength meter and wait for a stable laser at a given wavelength.…”

“…In this section, we describe the setup used during the ISRF calibration measurements, performed at the Centre Spatial de Liège (CSL) in Belgium, during the on-ground calibration campaign (Kleipool et al, 2017). In this setup, the light source employed is a 2 W continuous-wave optical parametric oscillator (OPO), custom-built by VSL (Delft, the Netherlands).…”
