Retrieval of sulphur dioxide from the infrared atmospheric sounding interferometer (IASI)

Thermal infrared sounding of sulphur dioxide (SO2) from space has gained appreciation as a valuable complement to ultraviolet sounding. There are several strong absorption bands of SO2 in the infrared, and atmospheric sounders, such as AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder), TES (Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer) and IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) have the ability to globall...

GNSS Atmospheric and Ionospheric Sounding – Methods and Results

All - Weather Hyperspectral Atmospheric Sounding

Remote measurements of Earth's atmospheric state using microwave and infrared wavelengths have been carried out for many years [1, 2]. Physical considerations involving the use of these spectral regions include the relatively high cloud-penetrating capability at microwave wavelengths and the relatively sharp weighting functions at infrared wavelengths, particularly in the shortwave region near ...

Application of GPS radio occultation to the assessment of temperature profile retrievals from microwave and infrared sounders

Comparisons of satellite temperature profile products from GPS radio occultation (RO) and hyperspectral infrared (IR)/microwave (MW) sounders are made using a previously developed matchup technique. The profile matchup technique matches GPS RO and IR/MW sounder profiles temporally, within 1 h, and spatially, taking into account the unique RO profile geometry and theoretical spatial resolution b...

Data Analysis of the TK-1G Sounding Rocket Installed with a Satellite Navigation System

This article gives an in-depth analysis of the experimental data of the TK-1G sounding rocket installed with the satellite navigation system. It turns out that the data acquisition rate of the rocket sonde is high, making the collection of complete trajectory and meteorological data possible. By comparing the rocket sonde measurements with those obtained by virtue of other methods, we find that...
