    Validation Report following the 3rd MERIS data reprocessing

    This document prepared by the MERIS Quality Working Group (QWG) corresponds to the Validation Report following the 3rd MERIS data reprocessing. It aims at qualifying and quantifying the accuracy of the MERIS L2 products generated with the version 8.0 of MERIS Ground Segment prototype (MEGS), delivered to the whole community through the ODESA software (http://earth.eo.esa.int/odesa/). It is equivalent to version 6.0 of the Instrument Processing Facilities (IPF) at ESRIN.

    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].

    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
