RISInterpretation of Mariner 10 Infrared Observations of Venus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The infrared radiometer experiment on Mariner 10 measured limb darkening curves for Venus in two spectral intervals, one near 11 µm and the other near 45 µm. In this paper, these are analyzed in terms of the vertical opacity ...
Temperature Sounding Experiments for the Jovian Planets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The possibilities for vertical temperature sounding experiments by medium-resolution measurements of outgoing radiance are examined for non-scattering models of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It is shown that for ...
Preliminary Data on the Optical Properties of Solid Ammonia and Scattering Parameters for Ammonia Cloud Particles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The infrared absorption spectrum of solid ammonia is obtained from 2 to 125 ?m as a composite of the published measurements. From this, the absorption coefficient and the complex refractive index are calculated as a function ...
On Remote Sounding of the Upper Atmosphere of Venus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some of the possibilities for remote sensing of the upper atmosphere of Venus from an orbiting spacecraft are studied quantitatively. Temperature sounding over a wide vertical range, from the main cloud top near 60 km ...
Remote Sounding of Cloudy Atmospheres. III. Experimental Verifications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The cloud-filtering technique developed in Parts I and II of this study is experimentally verified in this paper. The verification is based on radiance data measured in the 4.3 and 15 µm bands using a multi-detector sounder ...
Studies of Solar Heating by CO2 in the Upper Atmosphere Using a Non-LTE Model and Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solar heating and thermal cooling rates by the CO2 near-infrared bands in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere are derived from measurements of the CO2 4.3 ?m atmospheric emission by the Stratospheric and Mesospheric ...
High-Resolution Stratospheric Tracer Fields Estimated from Satellite Observations Using Lagrangian Trajectory Calculations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique is introduced by which high-resolution tracer fields may be constructed from low-resolution satellite observations. The technique relies upon the continual cascade of tracer variance from large to small scales ...
Properties of Northern Hemisphere Polar Stratospheric Clouds and Volcanic Aerosol in 1991/92 from UARS/ISAMS Satellite Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of polar stratospheric clouds by the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (ISAMS) experiment on the Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS) have revealed new details of their global properties ...
Dynamical Evolution of the Northern Stratosphere in Early Winter 1991/92, as Observed by the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dynamical fields based on temperature measurements from the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite are presented for the Northern Hemisphere stratosphere for the period ...
Measurements of N2O by the UARS Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder during the Early Northern Winter 1991/92
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of stratospheric nitrous oxide made by the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (ISAMS) during the period 28 October 1991?18 January 1992 are presented. The data are consistent with the dynamical ...
