The Sc<strong>an</strong>ning Imaging Absorption spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography,<br />

SCIAMACHY, is a national contribution, funded by Germ<strong>an</strong>y, The Netherl<strong>an</strong>ds <strong>an</strong>d Belgium<br />

to the ESA ENVISAT platform, which was launched on the 28 th February 2002.<br />

SCIAMACHY has a variety of different scientific objectives makes measurements of the<br />

extra terrestrial solar emission <strong>an</strong>d the upwelling radi<strong>an</strong>ce at the top of the atmosphere in a<br />

variety of viewing directions between 214 <strong>an</strong>d 23800 nm. The limb <strong>an</strong>d solar occultation<br />

measurements of SCIAMACHY yield unique information about the stratosphere, the<br />

mesosphere, <strong>an</strong>d thermosphere. In this context we are able to investigate a diverse set of<br />

phenomena, including the impact of solar variability on the upper atmosphere, meteoritic<br />

ablation in the atmosphere <strong>an</strong>d its consequences, polar mesospheric clouds <strong>an</strong>d stratospheric<br />

ozone <strong>an</strong>d aerosol chemistry <strong>an</strong>d dynamics. This presentation describes selected highlights<br />

from our use of SCIAMACHY to investigate <strong>an</strong>d un<strong>der</strong>st<strong>an</strong>d these phenomena.
