Chlorine monoxide radical, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide: stratospheric measurements by microwave limb sounding.
Profiles of stratospheric ozone and chlorine monoxide radical (C1O) have been obtained from balloon measurements of atmospheric limb thermal emission at millimeter wavelengths. The C1O measurements, important for assessing the predicted depletion of stratospheric ozone by chlorine from industrial sources, are in close agreement with present theory, The predicted decrease of C1O at sunset was me...
متن کاملStratospheric Aerosol Retrieval From OSIRIS Limb Scattered Sunlight Spectra
The recent development of satellite observations of limb scattered sunlight at optical wavelengths has afforded a new opportunity to measure the vertical structure of atmospheric composition from the upper troposphere to the mesosphere, on a global scale. The determination of profiles of atmospheric composition from observed limb radiance profiles requires two elements, a forward radiative tran...
متن کاملDetection and mapping of polar stratospheric clouds using limb scattering observations
Satellite-based measurements of Visible/NIR limb-scattered solar radiation are well suited for the detection and mapping of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs). This publication describes a method to detect PCSs from limb scattering observations with the Scanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CartograpHY (SCIAMACHY) on the European Space Agency’s Envisat spacecraft. The method i...
متن کاملRetrieving the vertical distribution of stratospheric OClO from Odin/OSIRIS limb-scattered sunlight measurements
The first vertical profiles of stratospheric OClO retrieved from Odin/OSIRIS limb-scattered sunlight radiances are presented. The retrieval method is based on a two-step approach, using differential optical absorption spectroscopy combined with the maximum a posteriori estimator. The details of the spectral window selection, spectral corrections and inversion technique are discussed. The result...
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 کاملAssimilation of MLS ozone measurements in the global three-dimensional chemistry transport model ROSE
A method for assimilating observations of ozone was implemented in the three-dimensional global stratospheric chemistry transport model ROSE. The model contains an extensive photochemical scheme which includes heterogeneous chemistry and uses temperature and wind fields from the UKMO (United Kingdom Meteorological Office) stratospheric analysis. Ozone measurements obtained by the Microwave Limb...
