• Method: DOAS for satellite instruments
• UV/vis/NIR satellite instruments
• What can we expect – what not?
• Results from the last 8 years (GOME, SCIA)
• Future Satellite instruments (until 2020)

When it all started....⇒ History
Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787-1826)
„I found very many strong and weak vertical lines, which are darker than the remaining part of the spectrum. Some of them are almost dark“
Solar spectrum, painted byJoseph von Fraunhofer (1814)
Further Milestones:
• first big achromatic objectives for long-glasses
• first use of refractive gratings, first absolute Wavelength determination
• Determination of the position of 234 of the > 500 lines he had doscovered

⇒ Results
What can we not expect from UV/vis satellite observations?
- high spatial resolution (>15 x 30km²)
- high sampling rate for a given location (SCIA: every 6 days)
- high sensitivity for species close to the ground
- good vertical resolution in the troposphere
- high accuracy for tropospheric species
What can we expect from UV/vis satellite observations?
- (Nearly) global coverage [excluding (polar) night]
=> spatial and temporal variability
- Stability of instruments
- Observations in remore regions

⇒ Future
• Many ground pixels are (at least partly) covered with clouds• Clouds are typically much brighter than the cloud free scenes (except over ice and snow)
=> Clouds cause largest uncertainties for tropospheric species!
Two dominant effects of clouds:A) Shielding effect for trace gases below cloudsB) Albedo effect for trace gases above clouds(nearly no cloud effect for stratospheric trace gases)

Conclusions
I hope I could show you that:
• trace gas observations provide a new & exciting viewon atmospheric chemistry and physics
• there are many important applications in future research, especially for the investigation of chemistry/climate relationships
......and finally....
