Within Exupéry the operational GOME-2 total column SO2 product provided by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is used. The operational level 1-to-2 processing of the SO2 product is performed with UPAS (Universal Processor for Atmospheric Spectrometers), a new generation system for the processing of operational trace gas and cloud property products in near-real time and off-line (Livschitz and Loyola 2003), available at http://wdc.dlr.de/sensors/gome2/
The MODIS true colour images of NASA/GSFC, MODIS Rapid Response System (Gumley et al. 2010) can be found at http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/
The Fortran source code of FLEXTRA and FLEXPART (Stohl et al. 1998, Stohl et al. 1999, Stohl et al. 2005) and corresponding user manuals can be found at http://transport.nilu.no/flexpart
