Product Name: GEMS / TEMPO
Manufacturer Name: BAE Systems
Product Description: The GEMS (Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer) and TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution) are advanced geostationary ultraviolet-visible spectrometers designed to enhance global air quality monitoring. Launched in 2020 and 2023, respectively, GEMS monitors trans-boundary pollution events in the Asia-Pacific region, while TEMPO tracks pollutants like ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide across North America. These instruments provide high-resolution, hourly measurements that aid in climate change research and pollution forecasting. Developed through collaborations with institutions such as NASA and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, both instruments are part of a global satellite constellation aimed at improving environmental monitoring and air quality prediction.
