New Developments in the SCIAMACHY L2 Ground Processor
2016
SCIAMACHY (SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter
for Atmospheric ChartographY) aboard ESA’s
environmental satellite ENVISAT observed the Earth’s
atmosphere in limb, nadir, and solar/lunar occultation geometries covering the UV-Visible to NIR spectral range.
It is a joint project of Germany, the Netherlands and
Belgium and was launched in February 2002. SCIAMACHY
doubled its originally planned in-orbit lifetime
of five years before the communication to ENVISAT was
severed in April 2012, and the mission entered its postoperational phase F.
The SCIAMACHY Quality Working Group (SQWG)
was established in 2007. The group coordinates evolution
of algorithms and processors, aiming at improving
the quality of the operational data products. University
of Bremen (IUP), BIRA, DLR-IMF, SRON (Netherlands
Institute for Space Research) and KNMI (The Royal
Netherlands Meteorological Institute) are the members
providing expertise in this group.
In order to preserve the best quality of the outstanding
data obtained by SCIAMACHY, data processors are still
being updated. This presentation will highlight new developments that are currently being incorporated into the
forthcoming Version 7 of ESA’s operational Level 2 processor
