Global-Ozone-Monitoring-Experiment-(GOME)-Interim-Science-Report.pdf
To obtain final confidence in the scientific validity of the GOME for its inclusion in the ERS-2 mission, in 1993 the Agency asked a group of scientists to review the scientific objectives and capabilities of the GOME. This 'historical' report covers the scientific rationale and objectives of GOME and assesses its capabilities.

ESA's improved Earth system data records: what is in store for the future?
Fundamental Data Records (FDRs) are instrumental in advancing our understanding of Earth systems and for addressing societal challenges effectively. These long-term records contain uncertainty-quantified, calibrated and geo-located multi-instrument/multi-platform satellite sensor data spanning several decades to support climate-related applications.
