Abstract

MIPAS, the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding, is a high-resolution Fourier-Transform spectrometer to measure concentration profiles of atmospheric constituents on a global scale. It observes the atmospheric emissions from the Earth horizon (limb) throughout the mid infrared region (685 - 2410 cm'1, 14.6 - 4.15 μm), which allows the simultaneous measurement of more than 20 atmospheric trace gases, including the complete NOy-family and several CFC's. MIPAS has been launched in 2002 and provides global data, including in particular the Polar Regions, where the stratospheric chemistry is currently exhibiting alarming changes.
