GeoTASO
Geostationary Trace gas and Aerosol Sensor Optimization Spectrometer
The Geostationary Trace gas and Aerosol Sensor Optimization (GeoTASO) is an airborne pushbroom spectrometer developed by Ball Aerospace through support by NASA’s Earth Science Technology Office. GeoTASO measures nadir backscattered solar radiation in the ultraviolet (290-400 nm) and visible (415-695 nm) wavelengths. These measurements can be used to determine aerosols and trace gases in the atmosphere such as ozone, formaldehyde and nitrogen dioxide. GeoTASO has a spatial resolution of about 250 m x 250 m and has an integration time of 0.25 s.
