Early Results Presented at AGU 2017

 

On Friday, 16 December 2017 at the end of the Annual Fall Meeting held by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in New Orleans, the first results from TROPOMI were presented to the international, scientific community by Pepijn Veefkind. In his presentation, highlights from the recent "First Light" events held at DLR and KNMI were shared with the packed room of eager observers. Pictured here in impressive clarity, are individual nitrogen dioxide plumes from the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants located on the South African "Highveld" just to the east of Johannesburg. This image was produced at KNMI within days after the cooler door opened on 7 November 2017 and the photo of it during presentation is courtesy of a member in the audience via Twitter. Just prior to this talk Pieternel Levelt also gave her PI talk about OMI, TROPOMI's important predecessor. From the first to the last day, Pepijn and Pieternel were greeted with congratulations from many international colleagues. The AGU first results presentation is included here as pdf file by clicking on the photo.
