AB: SCIAMACHY (Scanning Imaging Absorption spectrometer for Atmospheric CHartographY) was launched in 2002 aboard the ESA Envisat, which flies in a sun synchronous orbit in a descending node with an equator crossing time of 10.00 am. SCIAMACHY observes the back scattered, reflected and emitted radiation in 8 spectral channels from 214 nm to 2380 nm at spectral resolution form 0.2 nm to 1.4 nm. Carbon dioxide, CO2, and methane, CH4, are retrieved using their absorptions in the short eave infrared spectral region along with molecular oxygen, O2. The latest retrievals of the dry columns of CO2 and CH4 from SCIAMACHY and their seasonal behavior will be described and discussed.
