New technology enables a more effective measurement of gases in the atmosphere comparatively to the currently used techniques. With this technology, it will be possible to measure gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone – the gases responsible for global warming and greenhouse effects. The system has a high potential of applicability in satellites due to its efficiency, compactness and reduced volume and mass.
