Earth reflectance spectra from 300-1750 nm measured by SCIAMACHY

SCIAMACHY onboard ESA's Envisat satellite, launched in 2002, is a spectrometer covering the wavelength range 240-2380 nm with a spectral resolution between 0.2 and 1.5 nm. SCIAMACHY offers for the first time a contiguous spectral view of the Earth in the shortwave domain. Here we show some first top-of-atmosphere reflectance spectra of typical Earth scenes.
