Abstract

The article presents a study to demonstrates the capability of scanning imaging absorption spectrometer for atmospheric cartography (SCIAMACHY) in measuring solar occultation in monitoring greenhouse gas measurements. It uses time series stratospheric methane (CH4) profiles which cover from 2003 to 2012. It reveals that the SCIAMACHY CH4 profile solar occultation is showing a strong seasonal cycle attributed to variations in both time and space.
