The Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) Instrument: Overall Performance and Calibration Requirements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument will monitor the global concentrations of carbon monoxide and methane. It will be flown on the Earth Observing System Satellite AM-I. This paper briefly ...
Surface Energy Balance Framework for Arctic Amplification of Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing 22 Canadian radiosonde stations from 1971 to 2010, the annually averaged surface air temperature trend amplification ranged from 1.4 to 5.2 relative to the global average warming of 0.17°C decade?1. The amplification ...
Scanning the Earth's Limb from a High-Altitude Balloon: The Development and Flight of a New Balloon-Based Pointing System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development and first flight of a new balloon-borne pointing system is discussed. The system is capable of pointing a platform of optical instruments at an inertial target from a pendulating platform suspended below a ...
Instrument Sensitivity and Error Analysis for the Remote Sensing of Tropospheric Carbon Monoxide by MOPITT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Retrieval of Tropospheric Carbon Monoxide Profiles from High-Resolution Interferometer Observations: A New Digital Gas Correlation (DGC)Method and Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
A New Bruker IFS 125HR FTIR Spectrometer for the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory at Eureka, Nunavut, Canada: Measurements and Comparison with the Existing Bomem DA8 Spectrometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new Bruker IFS 125HR Fourier transform spectrometer has been installed at the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory at Eureka, Nunavut, Canada (80.05°N, 86.42°W). This instrument will become the Network for ...
Operational Validation of the MOPITT Instrument Optical Filters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Optical bandpass filters in the Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) satellite remote sensing instrument selectivity limit the throughput radiance to absorptive spectral bands associated with the ...
International Arctic Systems for Observing the Atmosphere: An International Polar Year Legacy Consortium
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nternational Arctic Systems for Observing the Atmosphere (IASOA) activities and partnerships were initiated as a part of the 2007?09 International Polar Year (IPY) and are expected to continue for many decades as a legacy ...
