On this page we provide user-friendly look-up tables of (1) general satellite and instrument specifications, and (2) species-specific retrieval information , data links and relevant references for GEOS-Chem users interested in assessing the model against space-based observations.
TBC is "TO BE COMPLETED". If you are using these satellite products please fill in the appropriate information.
