SCIAMACHY is an imaging spectrometer whose primary mission objective is to perform global measurements of trace gases in the troposphere and in the stratosphere. The solar radiation transmitted, backscattered and reflected from the atmosphere is recorded at relatively high resolution (0.2 nm to 0.5 nm) over the range 240 nm to 1700 nm, and in selected regions between 2.0 µm and 2.4 µm.

GOME-2 will be carried on the Metop spacecraft series – three polar orbiting satellites currently under development. These will produce high-resolution images, detailed vertical temperature and humidity profiles and temperatures of the land and ocean surface on a global basis.
