SCIAMACHY M-factors: Release Notes


Version 7.01        Version 6.01      Version 6.00     Contact

This is a list of major changes between the different m-factor versions. Please refer to the M-factor Technical Note for further details.

Top Version 7.01

  • Update 10 November 2010: The orbit change 22 Oct. to 04 Nov. required a S/W update in the m-factor setup. Unfortunately, the first version of the update introduced a problem with the validity start time of the m-factor files:
     25 Oct - 01 Nov: The validity start time is ~1.5 days before the measurements.
     02 Nov - 07 Nov: The validity start time is ~0.5 days before the measurements.
     08 Nov onwards: The validity start time in nominal mode
    No impact for users is expected, because changes in m-factors in this time range are not significant.
  • Update 8 April 2010: NRT m-factors contained erroneous values for channel 6,7, and 8 for the time frame 04 February 2010 - 6 April 2010. They are today replaced by corrected files.
