Air quality observations made by satellite for nearly 14 years

The Dutch-Finnish Ozone Monitoring Instrument, OMI, has produced reliable information on matters such as air quality, air pollution emissions, and their movements, and has revealed previously unknown sources of emissions.

OMI has made observations on air pollutants for nearly 14 years.  OMI measurements have been shown to be very reliable and they have opened new possibilities for monitoring air pollutants from outer space.
