Published purpose

The project name is ""MOPITT Data Enhancements through Improved Cloud Clearing"". Canada's MOPITT instrument measures global CO levels every three days. It has been in orbit since 1999 and continues to provide excellent data. This project aims to expand the coverage of the MOPITT data through its entire operational life by improving the scientific treatment of clouds in the field of view, thus increasing the amount of observations used to generate the data products. The results will improve the datasets made available by MOPITT and the resulting science coming from the research community around the world.
