Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME)

The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) is a satellite-based instrument designed to measure ozone levels and other gases in Earth's atmosphere. It uses spectroscopy to analyze how sunlight is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere, providing data on ozone distribution, pollution, and atmospheric composition. GOME helps scientists monitor ozone depletion, track air pollution, and study climate change impacts. Launched in the 1990s, it has contributed significantly to understanding how human activities affect Earth's atmosphere and aids in developing policies to protect environmental health.
