Abstract: Standard profiles based on upper level averaged profiles From BUV and lower level averaged profiles from balloon measurements are presented in a parametric representation as a function of time of year and latitude. The ...

Abstract: Observations of backscattered near-ultraviolet radiation from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) on board the Nimbus-7 (1979?92) and the Earth Probe (mid-1996 to present) satellites have been used to derive a ...

Abstract: The algorithm used to derive total ozone from the Nimbus 4 Backscattered Ultraviolet (BUV) experiment is described. A seven-year global data set with more than one million retrievals has been produced and archived using ...

Abstract: AbstractSatellite meteorology is a relatively new branch of the atmospheric sciences. The field emerged in the late 1950s during the Cold War and built on the advances in rocketry after World War II. In less than 70 years, ...

Abstract: Ozone estimates from observations by the NOAA-16 Solar Backscattered Ultraviolet (SBUV/2) instrument and Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS-N) Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) are used to describe the ...
