Abstract: Data from the Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere (LIMS) are used to identify a new type of planetary scale disturbance in the equatorial lower mesosphere during northern winter 1978/79. The disturbances consist of ...

Abstract: Eastward propagating disturbances over the equator are diagnosed in two independent Nimbus-7 LIMS (Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere) data sets. They are evident consistently at several pressure levels throughout ...

Abstract: The LIMS experiment on Nimbus 7 has provided new results on the stratospheric water vapor distribution. The data show 1) a latitudinal gradient with mixing ratios that increase by a factor of 2 from equator to ±60 degrees ...

Abstract: Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) is an eight-channel gas correlation radiometer selected for the Earth Observing System AM-1 platform to be launched in 1999. Its primary objectives are the measurement ...

Abstract: Global tropospheric carbon monoxide (CO) distributions can be retrieved from observations by spaceborne gas correlation radiometers and high-resolution interferometers. The Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere ...

Abstract: Global variability and budgets of stratospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) are studied using output from a stratospheric version of the NCAR Community Climate Model. The model extends over 0?80 km, incorporating an N2O-like tracer ...
