SWI_2D_MAP_PS_V1This is a multi-purpose mode that can be used on any science target for any 2D mapping, and meridional or zonal rasters. This mode will also be used for calibration purposes (e.g. pointing). The number of rows and columns and the stepsize of the raster map is adaptable to the target angular size.

(2) Tomographic investigation of Ganymede’s atmospheric and surface composition, temperature, and winds by scanning along-track from 30km to +30km of the nadir axis with 9 steps, using the rocker mechanism ( 4.3 ), and with 1.5 sec integration time for two CTS spectra over 130 channels (16 bits coding). In all cases, two CCH measurements (20 bits coding) are recorded for 0.1 second. During GCO, this implies that two CCH measurements are separated by 1/2 beam at 1200 GHz.

The investigation of Jupiter’s stratospheric dynamics (winds) requires measuring the Doppler shifts induced by zonal winds on strong lines. The observations require a very high signalto- noise ratio ( 100) and a very high spectral resolution (100kHz). Similar requirements for the investigation of Jupiter’s stratospheric chemical inventory and temperature as a function of latitude.
