Greenhouse Gases driving Climate Change
- Carbon dioxide and methane data from SCIAMACHY have led to new insights on the emissions of methane by the tropical rainforest and wetlands and also on the seasonal and regional variations of carbon dioxide over land. This is a trail blazing application and a milestone for atmospheric remote sensing and Earth system science. SCIAMACHY is the first and so far the only satellite instrument which measures the concentrations of these greenhouse gases from the surface where emissions occur, to the top of the atmosphere.
