Available Data

The MIPAS instrument measured in two time frames: from 2002 to 2004 in full spectral resolution and from 2005 to 2012 in reduced spectral resolution.
Measurements were conducted in different modes covering different altitude ranges:

 

Mode Altitude range Version* (Click on the hyperlinks for the data availability calendar)
Upper-Troposphere Lower-Stratosphere (UTLS-1 New) 5.5** - 49 km V8R, V5R
Nominal (NOM) 6** - 70 km V8R, V8H, V5R, V5H
Middle-Atmosphere (MA) 18 - 102 km V8R, V5R
Upper-Atmosphere (UA) 42 - 172 km V8R, V5R
Noctilucent Clouds (NLC) 39 - 102 km V8R, V5R

 

*Note:
V8R: Version 8, Reduced spectral resolution
V5R: Version 5, Reduced spectral resolution
V8H: Version 8, Full spectral resolution
V5H: Version 5, Full spectral resolution

**Lower altitude depends on the latitude.

For details, please refer to Full Resolution Modes and Reduced Resolution Modes.
