Additional entries in BUFR Code tables to support ENVISAT satellite data
Submitted by Milan Dragosavac (ECMWF)
__________________________________________________________________
Summary and Purpose of Document
The ENVISAT satellite has been launched in March 2002. The satellite is multiinstrument producing environmental measurements. This proposal covers
oceanographic and meteorological data to support near real time products on the
GTS used in NWP.
ACTION PROPOSED
The team is requested to study the document for reservation of BUFR table B and D
entries and pre-operational implementation.
DISCUSSION
1. Background
In March 2002, ENVISAT satellite was successfully launched by ESA. ENVISAT is
now completing its commissioning phase. The satellite carries a number of
instruments among which ASAR, MERIS, AATSR, RA-2, GOMOS, MIPAS and
SCIAMACHY are of meteorological and NWP interest.
ECMWF developed software to extract ENVISAT PDS data and create BUFR data
containing subset information available in the original data set. At the same time
some evaluation of SCIAMACHY, MIPAS, GOMOS and ASAR data has been done
at ECMWF.
2. Proposal
The proposal covers seven instruments:
a) AATSR - Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer is the advanced version of
the ATSR system operated on ERS1 and ERS2. The main objective of the AATSR is
precise measurement of sea surface temperature (SST).

b) SCIAMACHY- The Scanning Imaging Absorbtion Spectrometer for Atmospheric
Cartography. The instrument provides spectra measured from light transmitted, back
scattered or reflected by trace gases in the atmosphere.

c) MIPAS - The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding. The
instrument measures atmospheric radiation emitted by trace gases in the infrared
spectral range 4.14 to 14.6 micro meters.
