RISRetrieval of Composition and Size Distribution of Stratospheric Aerosols with the SAGE II Satellite Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The SAGE II satellite system was launched on 5 October 1984. It has seven radiometric channels and is beginning to provide water vapor, NO2, and O2 concentration profiles and aerosol extinction profiles at a minimum of ...
A Study on the Planetary Wave Transport of Ozone during the Late February 1979 Stratospheric Warming Using the SAGE Ozone Observation and Meteorological Information
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ozone data from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) have been used in conjunction with meteorological information to study the ozone transport near 55°N due to planetary waves during the late February 1979 ...
A Study on Radiative Damping of Planetary Waves Utilizing Stratospheric Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite ozone observations made by the Stratospheric Aerossol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) and corresponding meteorological temperature data are used to study the radiative damping processes associated with planetary waves ...
Characteristics of Arctic Polar Stratospheric Clouds as Measured by Airborne Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne lidar measurements of backscattering at 0.6943 ?m from polar stratospheric clouds, made in January 1984, are reported. The clouds, whose altitudes and geographical locations coincided with ambient atmospheric ...
Polar Stratospheric Cloud Sightings by SAM II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sightings of polar stratospheric clouds (PSC's) by the SAM II satellite system during the northern and southern winters of 1979 are reported. PSC's were observed in the Arctic stratosphere at altitudes between about 17 and ...
A Comparison of Lidar and Balloon-Borne Particle Counter Measurements of the Stratospheric Aerosol 1974–1980
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We compare a series of 85 dustsonde measurements and 84 lidar measurements made in midlatitude North America during 1974?80. This period includes two major volcanic increases (Fuego in 1974 and St. Helens in 1980), as well ...
The Formation of Polar Stratospheric Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the stratospheric aerosol by SAM II during the northern and southern winters of 1979 showed a pronounced increase in extinction on occasions when the temperature fell to a low value (below 200 K). In this ...
Variation in the Stratospheric Aerosol Associated with the North Cyclonic Polar Vortex as Measured by the SAM II Satellite Sensor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aerosol extinction data obtained by the Stratospheric Aerosol Measurement II (SAM II) satellite instrument during the 1979/80 Northern Hemisphere winter season have been analyzed in relation to the cyclonic polar vortex. ...
Post-Volcanic Stratospheric Aerosol Decay as Measured by Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Liday observations of the stratosphere aerosol vertical distribution from October 1971 to July 1976 over midlatitude North America are presented. The results show the sudden increase in the stratospheric aerosol content ...
Surface Temperature Related Variations in Tropical Cirrus Cloud as Measured by SAGE II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II (SAGE II) solar occultation satellite instrument have been used to study the properties of tropical cloud over the altitude range 10.5?18.5 km. By virtue of its ...
