| Abstract: | SCIAMACHY (SCanning Imaging Absorption spectrometer for Atmospheric CHartographY) is a space based spectrometer designed to measure sunlight transmitted, reflected and scattered by the Earth atmosphere or surface. It is a contribution to the Envisat-1 satellite to be launched in late 1999.SCIAMACHY measurements will provide amounts and distribution of 03, BrO, OCl0, ClO, S02, H2CO, N02, CO, CO2, CH4, H2O, N20, pressure, temperature, aerosol, radiation, cloud cover and cloud top height from atmospheric measurements in nadir, limb and occultation geometry.By the combination of the near simultaneous limb and nadir observations SCIAMACHY is one of a limited number of instruments which is able to detect tropospheric column amounts of 03, N02, CO, CH4, H2O, N20, S02, H2CO, and BrO down to the planetary boundary layer under cloud free conditions. |
