| Abstract |
The goal of the MOPITT experiment is to enhance our knowledge of the
lower atmosphere system and particularly how it interacts with the
surface/ocean/biomass systems. The particular focus is the distribution,
transport, sources and sinks of carbon monoxide and methane in the troposphere.
The MOPITT science team is international, having members from Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. The instrument itself is being constructed by a consortium of Canadian companies: COMDEV Atlantic of Moncton, BOMEM from Quebec City, Hughes-Leitz from Midland and SED from Saskatoon. The instrument is funded by the Space Science Division of the Canadian Space Agency. The instrument will be tested in the University of Toronto.
