Asymmetries of the Upper Stratospheric Ozone Distribution Between Two Hemispheres
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on the Nimbus-7 solar backscattered UV-radiation (SBUV) data which are free from the instrumental background noise (dark-current) produced by magnetospheric particles, it is found that the southern winter hemispheric ...
Feasibility of Determining Cloud-Top Heights Using the Backscattered Ultraviolet Satellite Observation Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique for determining cloud-top height by means of backscattered ultraviolet (BUV) solar radiation is presented. Cloud-top heights can be inferred using this technique if both the BUV radiance and its degree of ...
Estimation of Total Ozone from Satellite Measurements of Backscattered Ultraviolet Earth Radiance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Total ozone is estimated from Nimbus IV satellite measurements of the attenuation of backscattered radiances at wavelengths between 3100 and 3400 Å. A measurement of the backscattered radiance at 3800 Å, outside the O3 ...
