Probing Planetary Atmospheres with Stellar Occultations
Earth-based stellar occultations probe the temperature, pressure, and numberdensity profiles of planetary atmospheres in the microbar range with a vertical resolution of a few kilometers. Depending on the occultation data available for a given body and other information, the technique also allows determination of local density variations, extinction by aerosols and molecules, rotation period an...
متن کاملGOMOS: Ozone profile measurements by stellar occultations
The Global Ozone Monitoring by Occultation of Stars instrument (GOMOS) will be launched on board ESA’s Envisat satellite in late 2001. GOMOS will measure ozone and trace gases in the atmosphere by detecting the absorption of star light in UV, visible and infrared wavelengths. GOMOS will deliver ozone and other trace gas profiles at altitudes 15-90 km with a good vertical resolution and with a g...

متن کاملRegional Estimation of Terrestrial CO2 exchange from NIGEC flux Data, Satellite Imagery, and Atmospheric Composition
We have proposed an analysis of regional CO2 budgets of North America, using coupled models of terrestrial ecophysiology and biogeochemistry and the physical climate system. The models are driven by observed climates and by the time-varying observed state of the vegetated land surface as derived from satellite imagery. The coupled system has been developed to predict atmospheric trace gas compo...
متن کاملProbing the Martian atmosphere with MAVEN/IUVS stellar occultations
The first campaign of stellar occultations with the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) instrument on board of Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission was executed between 24 and 26 March 2015. From this campaign 13 occultations are used to retrieve CO2 and O2 number densities in the altitude range between 100 and 150 km. Observations probe primarily the low-latitude regions ...
