Abstract: 
The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) is a mid-infrared emission spectrometer which is part of the core payload of the Envisat satellite, launched by ESA in March 2002. It provides unique observations of the atmospheric spectral radiances in the 4.15 - 14.6 μm spectral interval with innovative limb scanning capabilities for the three dimensional observation of the atmospheric composition and processes. The species, the processes and events that have been studied with this instrument in its 10 years of operation are briefly reviewed. © 2012 IEEE.
