Satellite-borne remote sensing of trace gases (SAT)

Welcome on the Satellite Group's homepage

We investigate the complex interaction of chemical and dynamical processes in the Earth's atmosphere on basis of distributions of trace gases, aerosols, clouds and temperature which we derive from spectral measurements of satellite remote sensing instruments. Our work field covers processing of satellite data and their validation, the research on physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere on the basis of the retrieved distributions of temperature, particles and trace gases, and the development and implementation of related satellite data analysis algorithms. The current focus of our work is the MIPAS-Envisat mission. The MIPAS satellite data derived by our group can be accessed here. Besides our work with MIPAS we are involved in the preparation of future space missions. On this website you find information about our publications, MIPAS-Envisat data, our radiative transfer model KOPRA, the team and our projects.

 

 

The SAT Group mourns the loss of our group leader

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Thomas Clarmann von Clarenau

who suddenly and unexpectedly passed away on 13.01.2024.
The community has lost an internationally recognized top scientist.
We are not only losing a loyal group leader, but also a friend.

He will be missed.
