RISValidation of Parameterization Scheme for Eddy Diffusion from Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The eddy diffusion coefficient Kyy has been calculated using LIMS data for the months of December 1978 and January and February 1979. Two methods have been used. The first implements the suggestion made by Tung (1987) to ...
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 ...
Effects of a Spectral Surface Reflectance on Measurements of Backscattered Solar Radiation: Application to the MOPITT Methane Retrieval
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The amount of solar radiation emerging from the top of the atmosphere is strongly influenced by the reflectance of the underlying surface. For this reason, some information about the magnitude and the spectral variability ...
Transport of Ozone in the Middle Stratosphere: Evidence for Planetary Wave Breaking
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the Nimbus 7 Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere (LIMS) for the period 25 October 1978?28 May 1979 are used in a descriptive study of ozone variations in the middle stratosphere. It is shown that the ozone ...
Lagrangian Transport Calculations Using UARS Data. Part I. Passive Tracers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The transport of passive tracers observed by the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite is simulated using computed three-dimensional trajectories of ≈ 100 000 air parcels initialized on a stratosphere grid, with horizontal ...
Spectral Signatures of Polar Stratospheric Clouds and Sulfate Aerosol
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiwavelength observations of Antarctic and midlatitude aerosol by the Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES) experiment on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite are used to demonstrate a technique that ...
