MIPAS Reduced Resolution Modes

This table lists the scan sequences for MIPAS reduced-resolution operations since January 2005. Most of these are defined in Mission Plan v4.3 (January 2008) although the "old" UTLS-1 mode was defined in the "Planning of MIPAS Special Modes - January 2005 Campaign" (Jan 05)
