SCIAMACHY Operations Support M. Gottwald & E. Krieg – DLR-IMF, 30 November 2006 page 2 Known LoS Anomalies several measurements display small LoS anomalies auf (known since Commissioning Phase) all of them, except BIAS in limb tangent height, are classified as uncritical approach to use LoS anomalies to understand limb BIAS what can cause LoS anomalies? -extra instrument misalignment (pitch, roll, yaw) -platform attitude misalignment -FOCC planning and scheduling s/w (CFI, SCIACAL) -scanner control s/w -Sun Follower

SCIAMACHY Operations Support M. Gottwald & E. Krieg – DLR-IMF, 30 November 2006 page 5 Observed Anomalies (LoS angle) -limb:elevation = deg 1 SCIAMACHY is pointing too low tangent heights are too large 1 possibly larger -solar occultation:azimuth = 0.1 deg 2 elevation = deg 3 jumps of the ASM and ESM readings when switching to Sun Follower (State 47) 2 at 17.2 km 3 at 100 km -subsolar:azimuth = 0.05 deg 4 elevation = deg jump of the ESM readings when switching to Sun Follower and temporal shift of maximum signal (State 53) 4 derived from temporal shift of maximum signal of about 5 BCPS

SCIAMACHY Operations Support M. Gottwald & E. Krieg – DLR-IMF, 30 November 2006 page 6 Modelling the Jumps (1) assumption -jumps, temporal shift in subsolar signal and limb BIAS are caused by extra misalignment (known misalignment LoS: pitch = °, roll = °, yaw = °) -azimuth jump in occultation may be a special case (acquisition at 17.2 km = well within the atmosphere) misalignment budget -pitch: p t = p i + p p + p e (t = total misalignment, i = instrument, p = platform, e = extra) -roll: r t = r i + r p + r e -yaw: y t = y i + y p + y e

SCIAMACHY Operations Support M. Gottwald & E. Krieg – DLR-IMF, 30 November 2006 page 7 Modelling the Jumps (2) Modelling -derive solar azimuth and elevation for occultation and subsolar viewing using the ENVISAT CFIs -option 1: CFI without any misalignment = reference for subsolar azimuth -option 2: CFI with instrument misalignment = reference for subsolar elevation and occultation elevation -option 3: CFI with instrument misalignment, platform misalignment and variable extra misalignment -combination of option 1/2 and option 3 = simulation of Sun Follower acquisition determine best fit extra misalignment which produces measured jump or time shift

SCIAMACHY Operations Support M. Gottwald & E. Krieg – DLR-IMF, 30 November 2006 page 8 Modelling the Jumps (3) option 1 and 2 = scanner control with FOCC prediction option 3 = scanner control with Sun Follower absolute values of azimuth/elevation from SOST-CFIs and FOCC-CFIs are not fully identical (additional corrections at FOCC) difference in absolute values about several 0.01° jumps are relative changes jumps can be modelled with SOST-CFIs

SCIAMACHY Operations Support M. Gottwald & E. Krieg – DLR-IMF, 30 November 2006 page 21 Summary observed LoS anomalies (except azimuth jump in solar occultation) can be explained by extra misalignment: pitch p e = °, roll r e = °, yaw y e = 0.000° estimated uncertainties ± 0.002° ° (equivalent to about 200 m at limb distance) further simulations with smaller p e, r e, y e steps required
