MAMAP
Methane Airborne MAPper

The Methane Airborne MAPper (MAMAP) is an airborne two-channel near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) grating spectrometer developed by the University of Bremen and the German Research Centre for Geosciences. It measures tropospheric methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxygen (O2) simultaneously. The system includes two spectrometers: the CH4/CO2-SWIR spectrometer and the O2-NIR spectrometer. The CH4/CO2-SWIR spectrometer detects CH4 and CO2 in the 1590-1690 nm range at a resolution of 0.9 nm, while the O2-NIR spectrometer detects O2 in the 756-769 nm range at a resolution of 0.46 nm. At a flight altitude of 3 km and a speed of 200 km/h, MAMAP has a spatial resolution of 55 meters along the track and 60 meters across the track.
