Abstract

Satellite validation has to ensure that geophysical quantities derived from in-orbit radiometric measurements meet quality requirements for the intended scientific studies and applications. It is not a ‘once a mission lifetime’ task, but requires regular proof measurements throughout the in-orbit phase. An extensive SCIAMACHY validation programme has been developed jointly by Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium, with the support of ESA and a large number of international partners. Due to its status as an AO instrument SCIAMACHY is embedded in two collaborating validation structures, ESA’s Atmospheric Chemistry Validation Team and the SCIAVALIG, a subgroup of the SCIAMACHY Science Advisory Group. In the first years of the mission intensive independent measurement campaigns were organised, setting the basis for a continuous validation programme over the instrument lifetime, harmonised with the steadily improving operational processors and the scientific algorithms. All validation activities have to obey well-established validation principles including a thorough analysis when comparing geophysical parameters derived from SCIAMACHY with correlative measurements. Such measurements use all available means – from ground, ships, aircraft and balloons. Additionally the SCIAMACHY measurements were compared with results from other space-borne atmospheric sensors. Meanwhile validation has confirmed the current accuracy for a wealth of retrieved parameters. The list includes O3, NO2, BrO, OClO, SO2, HCHO, CHOCHO, H2O, CO, CO2, CH4, cloud fraction and cloud top pressure, aerosol index and aerosol optical thickness.
