Abstract: In order to determine the information content in the thermal profile of a planetary atmosphere observed by means of remote sensing techniques, Fourier analysis concepts and Shannon's sampling procedures are applied to the ...

Abstract: The present study describes a filtering procedure to invert the radiative transfer equation which combines the advantages of the fast convergence of Chahine's method and the stability properties inherent in filtering. This ...

Abstract: Using recently calculated models of the Jovian atmosphere, we have derived a value of 5.0 for the H2/He mixing ratio from the Pioneer 10 infrared radiometer data. We have also computed a far-infrared spectrum corresponding ...
