r3d100013459 IMK/IAA generated MIPAS/Envisat data https://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/308.php The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) onboard the ENVISAT satellite provided atmospheric infrared limb emission spectra. From these, profiles of temperature and atmospheric trace gases were retrieved using the research data processor developed at the Institut für Meteorologie und Klimaforschung (IMK), which is complemented by the component of non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) treatment from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA). The MIPAS data products on this server are commonly known as IMK/IAA MIPAS Level2 data products. The MIPAS instrument measured during two time frames: from 2002 to 2004 in full spectral resolution (high resolution = HR aka full resolution = FR), and from 2005 to 2012 in reduced spectral, but improved spatial resolution (reduced resolution = RR aka optimized resolution = OR). For this reason, there are different version numbers covering the full MIPAS mission period: xx for the HR/FR period, and 2xx for the RR/OR period (example: 61 for HR/FR, 261 for RR/OR). Beyond this, measurements were conducted in different modes covering different altitude ranges during the RR period: Nominal (6 – 70 km), MA (18 – 102 km), NLC (39 – 102 km), UA (42 – 172 km), UTLS-1 (5.5 – 19 km), UTLS-2 (12 – 42 km), AE (7 – 38 km). The non-nominal modes are identified by the following version numbers: MA = 5xx, NLC = 7xx, UA = 6xx, UTLS-1/2 = 1xx (no retrievals for AE mode). http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/1500.php michael.kiefer@kit.edu disciplinary institutional eng 3 Natural Sciences 303 Physical and Theoretical Chemistry 30301 Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Interfaces and Liquids - Spectroscopy, Kinetics 31 Chemistry 311 Astrophysics and Astronomy 313 Atmospheric Science and Oceanography 31301 Atmospheric Science 315 Geophysics and Geodesy 31502 Geodesy, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Geoinformatics, Cartogaphy 32 Physics 34 Geosciences (including Geography) Archived data Plain text Scientific and statistical data formats Standard office documents dataProvider ENVISAT IMK-IAA processor Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) Satellite-borne remote sensing of trace gases Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía IAA Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia ESP technical non-profit https://www.iaa.csic.es/ ROR:04ka0vh05 Karlsruhe Institute of Technology KIT Karlsruher Institut für Technologie DEU general non-profit http://www.kit.edu/english/ ROR:04t3en479 Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute of Climatology and Climate Research, Atmospheric Trace Gases and Remote Sensing IMK-ASF Institut für Meteorologie und Klimaforschung - Atmosphärische Spurengase und Fernerkundung DEU general technical non-profit http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/index.php Access and Usage conditions for IMK- and IAA-generated MIPAS-Envisat data http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/1500.php open restricted registration other http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/1500.php closed yes yes 2020-12-02 2021-09-01
