Validation of the Aura High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder geopotential heights
The geopotential height (GPH) product created from global observations by the High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) instrument on NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS) Aura spacecraft is discussed. The accuracy, resolution and precision of the HIRDLS version 7 algorithms are assessed and data screening recommendations are made. Comparisons with GPH from observations, reanalyses and model...
متن کاملAn Active Microwave Limb Sounder for Profiling Water Vapor, Ozone, Temperature, Geopotential of Pressure Surfaces and Clouds
We present and characterize the performance of a new remote sensing concept extrapolated from the GPS occultation concept in which we choose the signal frequencies to determine profiles of atmospheric water, ozone, temperature, geopotential of atmospheric pressure surfaces and clouds.
متن کاملRecent divergences in stratospheric water vapor measurements by frost point hygrometers and the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder
Balloon-borne frost point hygrometers (FPs) and the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) provide high-quality vertical profile measurements of water vapor in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). A previous comparison of stratospheric water vapor measurements by FPs and MLS over three sites - Boulder, Colorado (40.0° N); Hilo, Hawaii (19.7° N); and Lauder, New Zealand (45.0° S) - fr...
متن کاملFour-dimensional variational assimilation of ozone profiles from the Microwave Limb Sounder on the Aura satellite
[1] Ozone profiles from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) onboard the Aura satellite of the NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS) were experimentally added to the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) four-dimensional variational (4D-var) data assimilation system of version CY30R1, in which total ozone columns from Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric CHart...
متن کاملConstraining the chlorine monoxide (ClO)/chlorine peroxide (ClOOCl) equilibrium constant from Aura Microwave Limb Sounder measurements of nighttime ClO.
The primary ozone loss process in the cold polar lower stratosphere hinges on chlorine monoxide (ClO) and one of its dimers, chlorine peroxide (ClOOCl). Recently, analyses of atmospheric observations have suggested that the equilibrium constant, K(eq), governing the balance between ClOOCl formation and thermal decomposition in darkness is lower than that in the current evaluation of kinetics da...
