Incorporating TES observations of CO and O3…? Not a lot going on !
Summary • So was 2008 a vintage year? • Not really ! • Observable trace gas signals over Borneo are weak (on a global scale) • Can they tell us anything about surface emissions? • Details • Complete O3 data set is necessary • Need discussion on how to satellite integrate measurements with observations to obtain a meaningful and productive comparison
