University of Bremen GOME Group


Who we are:

The Institute of Environmental Physics/Institute of Remote Sensing ( iup/ife ) at the University of Bremen plays a leading role on the scientific side of the GOME mission. The instrument was proposed by Prof. Dr. J.P. Burrows, who is the Lead Scientist of GOME. Currently, the following iup/ife scientists are working (at least partially) on the GOME project:

Head:

Staff working on GOME related issues:


What we do...

active participation in several GOME related committees (mainly the GOME Science Advisory Committee (GSAC) and its sub-committees (algorithm development, calibration, validation))
development of the radiative transfer code GOMETRAN for the simulation of GOME measurements mainly for retrieval purposes
development of inversion algorithms for the retrieval of atmospheric parameters, particularly ozone profiles
retrieval of trace gas column amounts using the DOAS method
development, optimisation and test of operational algorithms
measurements of trace gas and ``Ring'' reference spectra
validation of GOME data products
derivation of indices of solar variability from direct sun measurements
