ESA TV Exchange for Tuesday 12 February:

Envisat Monitoring the Atmosphere

This is the second of the two new programmes on applications of ESA’s new Earth Observation satellite Envisat which will be launched at the end of this month.

This programme focuses on Envisat’s SCHIAMACHY instrument which will build on the atmosphere monitoring data provided by the GOME instrument on board ERS-2. The data provided will be be more accurate and will help scientists to further understand such phenomena as global worming and ozone depletion.

The 5-minute A-roll contains split audio with an English guide track and is complemented by a B-roll with international sound only. The script is on-line as of the day of transmission, as a PDF document under http://television.esa.int/photos/EbS23817.pdf
