Satellite Validation
- The satellite validation project, located at the University of Bremen, utilizes the data of other, well established satellite instruments to perform quick validation on a global scale for a wide range of SCIAMACHY products.
- Total columns as well as profiles from the SCIAMACHY limb measurements are validated. With SOLSTICE and SUSIM also the solar irradiance has been compared. The following table gives a list of the available resourses. MIPAS and GOMOS a used for intercomparisons.

| OSIRIS | O3, O2, O4, NO, NO2, aerosols, T, p |
| TOMS, | O3, SO2 |
| HALOE | CO2, H2O, O3, NO2, HF, HCl, CH4, NO |
| SAGE II + III | O3, OClO, BrO, NO2, NO3 aerosols, water vapour, T, p |
