The AMAXDOAS instrument is a new Multi Axis Airborne DOAS system which was flown on the DLR Falcon as part of the SCIAMACHY validation campaign. The campaign consisted of two flight routes, one to the north from Munich to Kangerlussuaq (Greenland), the second to the south, from Munich to the Seychelles. The AMAXDOAS instrument measures tropospheric and stratospheric columns of O3, NO2, and other trace species absorbing in the UV/visible wavelength range. In FORMAT campaign AMAXDOAS flown on Partenavia measured NO2 and HCHO plume near Milano. In this presentation, the instrument and the data analysis are described and first results from the flights are presented and compared to satellite measurements from GOME. <<<back<<<
