Description of the Instrument

The only change to the instrument description is that the wavelength ranges covered by the individual detectors have been updated (especially LW4, that was not used before launch, now is used again). The ranges of the detectors are indicated in Figure 1, as the vertical bars. The horizontal bars at the bottom of this figure show the scan ranges for each of the ten detectors, when using the two most extreme cases (84 m on detector LW1 and 178 m) on detector LW4. This then roughly corresponds to the extended range of operations.
