Monitoring Air Quality from Space: The Case for the Geostationary Platform

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2011:;volume( 093 ):;issue: 002:;page 221

Author(s): Lahoz, W. A.; Peuch, V.-H.; Orphal, J.; Attié, J.-L.; Chance, K.; Liu, X.; Edwards, D.; Elbern, H.; Flaud, J.-M.; Claeyman, M.; Amraoui, L. El

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: ty (AQ) is defined by the atmospheric composition of gases and particulates near the Earth's surface. This composition depends on local emissions of pollutants, chemistry, and transport processes; it is highly variable in ...

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

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1994:;Volume( 051 ):;issue: 020:;page 3027

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 ...

Three-Dimensional Evolution of Water Vapor Distributions in the Northern Hemisphere Stratosphere as Observed by the MLS

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1994:;Volume( 051 ):;issue: 020:;page 2914

Author(s): Lahoz, W. A.; O'Neill, A.; Carr, E. S.; Harwood, R. S.; Froidevaux, L.; Read, W. G.; Waters, J. W.; Kumer, J. B.; Mergenthaler, J. L.; Roche, A. E.; Peckham, G. E.; Swinbank, R.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The three-dimensional evolution of stratospheric water vapor distributions observed by the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) during the period October 1991?July 1992 is documented. The transport features inferred from the MLS ...
