Abstract
MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) is a Fourier Transform spectrometer that operates on board of the Envisat satellite. It is acquiring for the first time high spectral resolution middle infrared emission limb sounding spectra of the Earth atmosphere from space. These measurements can be exploited for the retrieval of a three dimensional field of the atmospheric composition. Furthermore, the high spectral accuracy makes it possible to observe the Doppler effect due to the atmospheric winds.
