Level 1 and 2 ENVISAT products with a particular emphasis on the SCIAMACHY data products "solar irradiances" and "atmospheric trace gas profiles" will be validated by means of LPMA/DOAS (Laboratoire de Physique Moléculaire et Applications/Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) balloon-borne measurements. The balloon flights will be conducted at different latitudes and seasons in order to allow us to validate the products for a manifold of different geophysical conditions. The simultaneous direct Sun spectroscopic measurements of the French (LPMA) FTIR and the German (IUP-HD) DOAS from the same balloon platform are ideally suited to validate the SCIAMACHY products since the balloon spectrometers essentially cover the same wavelength range as the SCIAMACHY instrument. The balloon instruments share the sun-pointing devices, i.e. the azimuth control of the gondola and a sun-tracker as well, and so they intrinsically observe the same air masses in which either line-of-sight absorption and/or profiles of O3, NO2, NO3, BrO, OClO, IO, CO, CO2, N2O and others will be measured.
