(author), Bekki, S. (author), Bolsée, D. (author), Pereira, N. (author), Sluse, D. (author)This paper describes a new reference solar spectrum retrieved from measurements of the satellite instrument SCIAMACHY in the wavelength region from 0.24μm to 2.4μm and its comparison with several other established solar reference spectra. The SCIAMACHY reference spectrum was recorded early in the mission before substantial optical degradation...article 2018

(author)At the beginning of 2009 new space-borne observations of dry-air column-averaged mole fractions of atmospheric methane (XCH4) became available from the Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observations-Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TANSO-FTS) instrument on board the Greenhouse Gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT). Until April 2012...article 2015

(author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)The calibration of SCIAMACHY was thoroughly checked since the instrument was launched on-board ENVISAT in February 2002. While SCIAMACHY's functional performance is excellent since launch, a number of technical difficulties have appeared, that required adjustments to the calibration. The problems can be separated into three types: (1) Those...article 2006

Retrieval of aerosol optical depth from satellite measurements using single and dual view algorithmsTNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author), de Leeuw, G. (author), Robles Gonzalez, C. (author), Kusmierczyk-Michulec, J. (author), Decae, R. (author), Veefkind, J.P. (author)To retrieve aerosol properties from the radiance measured at the top of the atmosphere in clear sky conditions, the contributions of the surface and the various atmospheric constituents need to be separated. This is easiest done over dark surfaces, i.e. with a negligible reflectance that can relatively easily be accounted for. This principle has...conference paper 2002
