The Inference of Atmospheric Ozone Using Satellite Horizon Measurements in the 1042 cm−1 Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is presented for inferring atmospheric ozone information using infrared horizon radiance measurements in the 1042 cm?1 band. An analysis based on this method proves the feasibility of the horizon experiment for ...
The Simultaneous Inference of Stratospheric NO2–H2 and HNO3–CF(2CL2 Using Limb Sounding Radiometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An inversion algorithm has been developed to simultaneously infer the concentrations of two gases with overlapping spectral signatures using limb emission measurements. The algorithm is efficient and provides a solution ...
Summer Polar Chemistry Observations in the Stratosphere Made by HALOE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Regions of low stratospheric ozone that are anticorrelated with HCl, NO, and NO2 levels have been observed in the Arctic and Antarctic summers of 1992 and 1993 by the Halogen Occultation Experiment on the UARS platform. ...
Estimation of Synoptic Fields of Middle Atmosphere Parameters from Nimbus-7 LIMS Profile Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The most widely used version of the Nimbus-7 LIMS middle atmosphere dataset is the set of high quality, daily, and zonal Fourier coefficients that resolve information out to six wavenumbers at 12 UTC. A Kalman filter ...
Seasonal Cycles and QBO Variations in Stratospheric CH4 and H2O Observed in UARS HALOE Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of stratospheric methane (CH4) and water vapor (H2O) are used to investigate seasonal and interannual variability in stratospheric transport. Data are from the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) on the ...
Implications of the Stratospheric Water Vapor Distribution as Determined from the Nimbus 7 LIMS Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The LIMS experiment on Nimbus 7 has provided new results on the stratospheric water vapor distribution. The data show 1) a latitudinal gradient with mixing ratios that increase by a factor of 2 from equator to ±60 degrees ...
Large-Scale Waves in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere Observed by SABER
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations made by the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) instrument on board NASA?s Thermosphere?Ionosphere?Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite have been processed ...
Spring Dehydration in the Antarctic Stratospheric Vortex Observed by HALOE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The distribution of dehydrated air in the middle and lower stratosphere during the 1992 Southern Hemisphere spring is investigated using Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) observations and trajectory techniques. ...
Southern Hemisphere Summer Mesopause Responses to El Niño–Southern Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n the Southern Hemisphere (SH) polar region, satellite observations reveal a significant upper-mesosphere cooling and a lower-thermosphere warming during warm ENSO events in December. An opposite pattern is observed in the ...
