Abstract

We present results of studies of instrument concepts for a spaceborne imaging Fabry-Perot interferometer to measure tropospheric ozone. Ozone is recognized as one of the most important trace constituents of the troposphere. Tropospheric ozone is responsible for acute and chronic human health problems and contributes toward destruction of plant and animal populations. Furthermore, it is a greenhouse gas and contributes toward radiative forcing and climate change. Tropospheric ozone levels have been increasing and will continue to do so as concentrations of precursor gases (oxides of nitrogen, methane, and other hydrocarbons) necessary for the photochemical formation of tropospheric ozone continue to rise. Space-based detection and monitoring of tropospheric ozone is critical for enhancing scientific understanding of creation and transport of this important trace gas and for providing data needed to help develop strategies for mitigating impacts of exposure to elevated concentrations of tropospheric ozone. Measurement concept details are discussed in a companion paper by Larar et al. Development of an airborne prototype instrument for this application is discussed by Cook et al. in another companion paper.
