The Status of the SCIAMACHY Active Thermal Control (ATC)
The Active Thermal Control System (ATC) is providing thermal stability to SCIAMACHY's optical bench module (OBM). Over the past 10 years in-orbit mission lifetime the ATC has proven extremely reliable. Although regular monitoring has revealed some degradation ??? less than what was predicted before launch ??? only a single adjustment was necessary so far to keep the OBM temperature within the specified limit. The ATC adjustment occurred in October 2008 in orbit 34643 [RD1 with referencing RD3-RD6].

The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME)
This document reports on what can be expected from the improved GOME-2 instrument. In order to underpin the case, the achievements of the existing instrument, GOME-1, in terms of instrument performance, routinely generated data products, and scientific results achieved so far are first summarised, before extrapolating to the expected performances and capabilities of the enhanced version GOME-2 being built for METOP.

TASTE - Correlative Database status and validation highlights
TASTE - Correlative Database status and validation highlights, March 2005. The TASTE project provides ESA with Technical ASsistance To Envisat atmospheric chemistry validation throughout the satellite lifetime. The project involves an international consortium gathering complementary expertise in remote sensing and satellite validation. Main tasks relate to the coordination of the consortium, the collection and delivery of correlative data to the ENVISAT Cal/Val database operated at NILU on behalf of ESA, geophysical validation studies based on comparisons between ENVISAT (GOMOS, MIPAS and SCIAMACHY) and ground-based data sets, and the valorisation of the validation results after concerted consolidation
