The Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPIC) from Germany was established in Mainz in 1949, and focuses on the chemistry of the atmosphere, climate geochemistry, multiphase chemistry, particle chemistry, and remote sensing for Earth system sciences. The satellite remote sensing group at MPIC lead by Prof. Thomas Wagner was established in 2006 and has large experience in the operation and analysis of UV/visible remote sensing measurements from ground or satellite platforms. One main focus is the development of spectral retrieval algorithms, the second focus is the interpretation of the retrieved results.
