The Copernicus carbon dioxide monitoring (CO2M) mission is the space component of the European integrated monitoring and verification support capacity dedicated to monitoring anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Due to the high accuracy requirements of this measurement, it is critical to measure and characterise cloud and aerosol in support of the CO2 retrieval. The Cloud Imager (CLIM) and the Multi-Angle Polarimeter (MAP) are therefore included as a payloads on the CO2M mission and the measured cloud and aerosol properties are used to correct for scattering and transmission in the downstream greenhouse gas (GHG) retrieval. The synergistic use of the cloud and aerosol products within the CO2M ground segment will be described.
