In April 1995, the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) was launched on board the ERS-2. GOME is a spectrometer measuring the Earth's reflectivity between 240 and 790 nm with a spectral resolution of 0.2 - 0.4 nm. Its spatial resolution can be varied between 40 x 40 and 320 x 40 km(2).

In this paper, spectral reflectivity data of GOME ale shown for a few typical cloud-free scenes, namely over the Atlantic Ocean, desert (Algeria), rain-forest (Brazil), grassland (Ukraine) and snow (Greenland). An atmospheric correction scheme has been developed to derive surface albedo spectra from the spectra measured at the top of the atmosphere. First results of derived surface albedo spectra over the various scene types are presented.
