AbstractThe primary scientific objective of SCIAMACHY (Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography) is the global measurement of trace gases in the troposphere and the stratosphere. SCIAMACHY comprises two high resolution optical spectrometers scanning the atmosphere simultaneously in nadir and in limb. It retrieves the concentrations of trace gases from observations of transmitted, back scattered and reflected light from the atmosphere in the wavelength range between 0.24 and 2.4 μm. Important ozone chemistry and greenhouse gases, including O3, NO2, N2O, CH4, CO and CO2 are measured. In this paper the instrument design is presented, carried out as part of a recently successfully completed phase A feasibility study for the first European Polar Platform (1997) and the ATMOS-Umwelt Forschungs Satellit (1995).
