Polar stratospheric cloud observations by MIPAS on ENVISAT: detection method, validation and analysis of the northern hemisphere winter 2002/2003
The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) on ENVISAT has made extensive measurements of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) in the northern hemisphere winter 2002/2003. A PSC detection method based on a ratio of radiances (the cloud index) has been implemented for MIPAS and is validated in this study with respect to ground-based lidar and space borne occultation measur...
متن کاملSensitivity of the Mipas on Envisat to the Detection of Polar Stratospheric Clouds and Their Composition
The MIPAS instrument has provided unprecedented information on the distribution and composition of polar stratospheric clouds. Both the spectral information in the measured data and its views of the poles are central to these advances. In this paper, the detection of polar stratospheric cloud particles is discussed and a threshold value of five for a defined MIPAS cloud index is shown to be sui...
متن کاملTesting our understanding of Arctic denitrification using MIPAS-E satellite measurements in winter 2002/2003
Observations of gas-phase HNO3 and N2O in the polar stratosphere from the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding aboard the ENVISAT satellite (MIPAS-E) were made during the cold Arctic winter of 2002/2003. Vortex temperatures were unusually low in early winter and remained favourable for polar stratospheric cloud formation and denitrification until mid-January. MIPAS-E observ...
متن کاملSpectroscopic evidence for NAT, STS, and ice in MIPAS infrared limb emission measurements of polar stratospheric clouds
We have analyzed mid-infrared limb-emission measurements of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) by the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) during the Antarctic winter 2003 with respect to PSC composition. Coincident Lidar observations from McMurdo were used for comparison with PSC types 1a, 1b and 2. Application of new refractive index data of β-NAT have allowed to a...
متن کاملA New 4-dimensional Variational Assimilation System Applied to Envisat Mipas Observations
A four-dimensional variational (4D-var) data assimilation system intended for operational application to stratospheric trace gas observations is being developed. The Kernel of this new system is a novel stratospheric global chemistry circulation model (GCCM) and its adjoint version. The German Weather Service’s global forecast model (GME) with its icosahedral discretisation scheme serves as an ...
