Submillimeter fourier-transform spectrometer measurements of atmospheric opacity above mauna kea.
We present accurately calibrated submillimeter atmospheric transmission spectra obtained with a Fourier-transform spectrometer at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. These measurements cover the 0.9-0.3-mm wavelength range and are the first in a series aimed at defining the terrestrial long-wave atmospheric transmission curve. The 4.1-km altitude of the Mauna Kea site pr...
متن کاملMeasurements of atmospheric water vapor above Mauna Kea using an infrared radiometer
Astronomical arrays operating at (sub)millimeter wavelengths are seriously compromised by rapid variations in atmospheric water vapor that distort the phase coherence of incoming celestial signals. The signal received by each antenna of the array suffers a phase delay that varies rapidly with time and from antenna to antenna. Unless corrected, these distortions limit the coherence time of the a...
متن کامل2 5 Se p 20 09 Studies of Millimeter - Wave Atmospheric Noise Above Mauna Kea
We report measurements of the fluctuations in atmospheric emission (atmospheric noise) above Mauna Kea recorded with Bolocam at 143 and 268 GHz from the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO). The 143 GHz data were collected during a 40 night observing run in late 2003, and the 268 GHz observations were made in early 2004 and early 2005 over a total of 60 nights. Below ≃ 0.5 Hz, the data time-...

متن کاملRetrievals for the atmospheric chemistry experiment Fourier-transform spectrometer.
SCISAT-1, also known as the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment, is a satellite mission for remote sensing of the Earth's atmosphere, launched on 12 August 2003. The primary instrument on the satellite is a 0.02 cm(-1) resolution Fourier-transform spectrometer operating in the mid-IR (750-4400 cm(-1)). We describe the approach developed for the retrieval of atmospheric temperature and pressure fro...
