MEASUREMENTS on August-September 2004
These measurements were performed using the original vertical sampling grid but with reduced spectral resolution.
| Type |
Parameters |
Spectral resolution |
0.0625 cm-1 (defined as spacing between independent measured spectral points) |
| Vertical sampling grid # of spectra / scan |
3 km step 5 km step 8 km step 6-42 km 42-52 km 52-68 km 17 |
| Horizontal sampling grid |
220 km |
MEASUREMENTS from January 2005 on
These measurements have been performing using the reduced spectral resolution and a vertical sampling grid that is finer than the one used at the beginning of the MIPAS mission.

MEASUREMENTS from June 2002 to March 2004
These measurements were performed in the nominal measurement scenario that had originally been planned.
The characteristics distinguishing the June 2002 - March 2004 measurements from the subsequent measurements are listed below:
