CSO - CAMS Satellite Operator

The CAMS Satellite Operator (CSO) is a tool box to facilitate assimilation of satellite observations in regional air quality models. The development of CSO is part of the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS).

The CSO toolbox contains two main entities:

  • A pre-processor written in Python that can be used to download and convert satellite data, in particular Sentinel-5p data (TROPOMI instrument).

  • An observation operator written in Fortran that could be added to the source code of a simulation model. With this operator, the module could write out simulations of the satellite data and use these in a data assimilation procedure.

For a step-by-step introduction to CSO, follow the Tutorial.
