SCIAMACHY notamment est un instrument remarquable : ce spectromètre d’absorption à balayage et de prise d’images pour la cartographie de l'atmosphère sondera cette dernière pour y repérer l'ozone, les gaz à l'état de trace et d’autres espèces chimiques, déterminera la quantité globale de ces gaz et leur répartition à différentes altitudes, et analysera les nuages et les particules de poussière. Il fera également apparaître les conséquences des feux de forêt, des rejets industriels dans l'atmosphère, des brumes arctiques, des tempêtes de poussière et des éruptions volcaniques.  2, record 1, French, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20d%26rsquo%3Babsorption%20%C3%A0%20balayage%20et%20prise%20d%26rsquo%3Bimages%20pour%20la%20cartographie%20de%20l%26rsquo%3Batmosph%C3%A8re

The Multi-Channel Sea Surface Temperature (MCSST) data are derived from the 5-channel Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRR) on board the NOAA -7, -9. -11 and -14 polar orbiting satellites. Weekly averaged data for both the ascending pass (daytime) and descending pass (nighttime) are provided on an equal-angle grid of 2048 pixels longitude by 1024 pixels latitude (nominally referred to as the 18km resolution). Data are provided in Hierarchical Data Format and in Raw Binary Format.  4, record 2, English, - multi%2Dchannel%20sea%20surface%20temperature

The multichannel sea surface temperature algorithm (MCSST) has been used to routinely calculate SSTs using a split window approach. Currently this algorithm is applied by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) to calculate SSTs at a near real-time rate.  2, record 2, English, - multi%2Dchannel%20sea%20surface%20temperature

The scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR) is an imaging 5-frequency radiometer ... It measures dual-polarized microwave radiances from the earth's atmosphere and surface, primarily for the purpose of deriving global and nearly all-weather measurements of sea surface temperature, wind speed, and atmospheric liquid water and water vapor.  5, record 3, English, - scanning%20multichannel%20microwave%20radiometer
