Overview of the German validation projects

The tables below lists the german national projects for the validation of the satellite instrument SCIAMACHY onboard ENVISAT. Given are the ESA-AO (ESA Announcement of Opportunity) number, the name of the Principal Investigator (PI) of the project and the title of the project. The ESA-AO numbers identify the projects in the framework of the Atmospheric Chemistry Validation Team (ACVT) of the European Spase Agency (ESA). Details of all projects can be found in the handbook : German Contribution to the SCIAMACHY Validation. The tables are separeted to the working groups balloon-borne, ground-based and ship-borne, Aircraft-borne and Satellite Validation.
