Concentrations of carbon monoxide at 15,000 feet: (a) March 10, 2000; (b) March 12, 2000; (c) March 13, 2000; (d) March 15, 2000. Measurements were taken by the Measurements of Pollution in The Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument, onboard the Terra satellite. MOPITT is now operating well in orbit, and global maps of carbon monoxide (CO), an important tropospheric pollutant, are being produced.
