RISTotal Ozone and Aerosol Optical Depths Inferred from Radiometric Measurements in the Chappuis Absorption Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A second-derivative smoothing technique, commonly used in inversion work, is applied to the problem of inferring total columnar ozone amounts and aerosol optical depths. The application is unique in that the unknowns (i.e., ...
Retrieval of Water Vapor Profiles from GPS/MET Radio Occultations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Present Global Positioning System Meteorology (GPS/MET) refractivity profiles cannot distinguish between refractivity effects due to water vapor and those due to air density. Current methods of resolving the ambiguity rely ...
A Microwave Occultation Observing System Optimized to Characterize Atmospheric Water, Temperature, and Geopotential via Absorption
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new remote sensing concept extrapolated from the GPS occultation concept is presented in which the signal frequencies are chosen to determine atmospheric water, temperature, and the geopotential of atmospheric pressure ...
