GOME-2 observes Australian fires

(PresseBox) (Darmstadt, )
The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2) instrument on EUMETSAT's Metop-A polar-orbiting satellite observed the smoke plume of the Australian wildfires from space.

The death toll from the wildfires in south-eastern Australia has now reached 200, the largest number of casualties due to a natural disaster in the country in 110 years.

The GOME-2 instrument measured the amount of smoke particles as well as the amount of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emitted by the fires. The amount of smoke particles is estimated by a so-called Absorbing Aerosol Index, which is a relative quantity with respect to the clear-sky situation.
