Abstract: The distortions to the image and spectrum of a star being observed during occultation from a satellite are discussed. The primary distortions are shown to be due to refractive dispersion, small and large particle scattering, ...

Abstract: A model system is established that includes three interactive components: a dynamics model, a turbulence model, and a chemistry model. The dynamics model solves the two-dimensional, nonlinear, nonhydrostatic, compressible, ...

Abstract: Backscatter ultraviolet data obtained by the Explorer E satellite imply very large ozone column abundances above 56 km in the tropics during mid-day. The number of molecules in a vertical column decays by a factor of 2?3 ...
