UP 13.1: Invited Talk

From SCIAMACHY to the next generation of remote sensing instrumentation. — •John Burrows — Institut für Umweltphysik der Universität Bremen, Postfach 330440, 28334 Bremen

In the past three decades, the remote sensing of atmospheric trace constituents has passed through a pioneering age. SCIAMACHY (SCanning Imaging Absorption spectrometer for Atmospheric CHartography), which flew on ENVISAT from 2002 to 2012 when contact was lost with ENVISAT, and its spin off GOME, which flew on ERS-2 until it was was decommissioned by ESA , are now being succeeded by a new generation such as GOME-2 on the Metop series. However much has been lost with the end of Envisat. There is an urgent need for new instrumentation. This talk will address some of the past successes and point out the needs and opportunities for the coming years. This will include the potential use of the International space station.
