Speaker: M. Bruns (IUP)

Sensitivity studies for profile retrieval using a novel airborne UV/vis skylight absorption spectrometer called Airborne MultiAXis Differential Optical Absorption Spectrometer - AMAX-DOAS will be presented. This instrument is part of the validation activities for the SCIAMACHY satellite experiment onboard ESA's ENVISAT. The sensitivity studies give an overview of the profile information that can be drawn from this type of airborne UV/vis skylight absorption measurements. The studies were performed for a variety of representative measurement conditions including two wavelengths, one in the UV and one in the visible wavelength region, various lines of sight (LOS), and different LOS setups. First results on the profile retrieval using simulated AMAX-DOAS data will also be presented.
