Solar occultation with SCIAMACHY: algorithm description and first validation
This presentation concentrates on solar occultation measurements with the spaceborne spectrometer SCIAMACHY in the UV-Vis wavelength range. Solar occultation measurements provide unique information about the vertical distribution of atmospheric constituents. For retrieval of vertical trace gas concentration profiles, an algorithm has been developed based on the optimal estimation method. The fo...
متن کاملAn investigation of the near-infrared collision induced absorption bands of oxygen with SCIAMACHY solar occultation data
The present work investigates the Collision Induced Absorption (CIA) bands of oxygen that occur at 1065 and 1270 nm from solar occultation data obtained with the spaceborne spectrometer SCIAMACHY. The effort is motivated by the interest in these two strong CIA bands in atmospheric research and the paucity of data on them under realistic atmospheric conditions. The observing geometry provides lo...
متن کاملUsing a photochemical model for the validation of NO2 satellite measurements at different solar zenith angles
SCIAMACHY (Scanning Imaging Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography) aboard the recently launched Environmental Satellite (ENVISAT) of ESA is measuring solar radiance upwelling from the atmosphere and the extraterrestrial irradiance. Appropriate inversion of the ultraviolet and visible radiance measurements, observed from the atmospheric limb, yields profiles of nitrogen dioxide, NO2, in the ...
متن کاملSciamachy Polarisation Sensitivity
SCIAMACHY (SCanning Imaging Absorption SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY) is one of the Earth observation research instruments to be included as part of the payload of the ESA (European Space Agency) ENVISAT-1 platform to be launched in the year 2000. The main scientific objective of SCIAMACHY is to measure distributions of a number of chemically important atmospheric trace species on a...
متن کاملImproved stratospheric aerosol extinction profiles from SCIAMACHY: validation and sample results
Stratospheric aerosol extinction profiles have been retrieved from SCIAMACHY/Envisat measurements of limb-scattered solar radiation. The retrieval is an improved version of an algorithm presented earlier. The retrieved aerosol extinction profiles are compared to co-located aerosol profile measurements from the SAGE II solar occultation instrument at a wavelength of 525 nm. Comparisons were carr...
