Aircraft validation of Aura Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer retrievals of HDO / H2O
The EOS (Earth Observing System) Aura Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) retrieves the atmospheric HDO /H2O ratio in the mid-to-lower troposphere as well as the planetary boundary layer. TES observations of water vapor and the HDO isotopologue have been compared with nearly coincident in situ airborne measurements for direct validation of the TES products. The field measurements were made...
متن کاملPredicted errors of tropospheric emission spectrometer nadir retrievals from spectral window selection
[1] Error covariances and vertical resolutions are reported for Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) nadir-view retrievals of surface temperature, atmospheric temperature, H2O, O3, CO, and CH4. These error covariances are computed as a result of selecting spectral windows that maximize the information content of simulated, TES nadir-view atmospheric retrievals of four regions representative...
متن کاملA multi-sensor upper tropospheric ozone product (MUTOP) based on TES Ozone and GOES water vapor: derivation
The Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES), a hyperspectral infrared instrument on the Aura satellite, retrieves a vertical profile of tropospheric ozone. However, polar-orbiting instruments like TES provide limited nadirview coverage. This work illustrates the value of these observations when taken in context with geostationary imagery describing synoptic-scale weather patterns. The goal of ...
متن کاملCapturing time and vertical variability of tropospheric ozone: A study using TES nadir retrievals
[1] In this paper, the vertical resolution for Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) nadir ozone retrievals is established and is used to assess the ability of TES to capture time variations of ozone in the troposphere. This characterization is based on retrievals of ozone using simulated radiances generated from ozonesonde profiles taken over Bermuda from 14 April to 25 May 1993. To that en...
متن کاملImplementation of cloud retrievals for Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) atmospheric retrievals: part 1. Description and characterization of errors on trace gas retrievals
[1] We develop an approach to estimate and characterize trace gas retrievals in the presence of clouds in high spectral measurements of upwelling radiance in the infrared spectral region (650–2260 cm ). The radiance contribution of clouds is parameterized in terms of a set of frequency-dependent nonscattering optical depths and a cloud height. These cloud parameters are retrieved jointly with s...
