Balloon-borne radiometer measurements of Northern Hemisphere mid-latitude stratospheric HNO3 profiles spanning 12 years
Low-resolution atmospheric thermal emission spectra collected by balloon-borne radiometers over the time span of 1990–2002 are used to retrieve vertical profiles of HNO3, CFC-11 and CFC-12 volume mixing ratios between approximately 10 and 35 km altitude. All of the data analyzed have been collected from launches from a Northern Hemisphere mid-latitude site, during late summer, when stratospheri...
متن کاملComparisons between ground-based FTIR and MIPAS N2O and HNO3 profiles before and after assimilation in BASCOE
Within the framework of the Network for Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC), regular ground-based Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements of many species are performed at several locations. Inversion schemes provide vertical profile information and characterization of the retrieved products which are therefore relevant for contributing to the validation of MIPAS profiles ...
متن کاملBalloon profiles of stratospheric NOz and I-INO3 for testing the heterogeneous hydrolysis of NzOs on sulfate aerosols
Simultaneous in sire measurements of stratospheric NO2, HNO 3, HC1, and CH 4 from 34 to 24 km were made in August 1992 from Palestine, Texas, using the Balloon-borne Laser In-Sire Semor (BLISS) ranable diode laser spectrometer. Although the measurements of NO2, HNO3, and NO2/HNO3 agree well with gas-phase model calculations near 34 km where SAGE II data show little sulfate aerosol, this is not ...
متن کاملOdin stratospheric proxy NOy measurements and climatology
Five years of OSIRIS (Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System) NO2 and SMR (Sub-millimetre and Millimetre Radiometer) HNO3 observations from the Odin satellite, combined with data from a photochemical box model, have been used to construct a stratospheric proxy NOy data set including the gases: NO, NO2, HNO3, 2×N2O5 and ClONO2. This Odin NOy climatology is based on all daytime measureme...
متن کاملValidation of version 5.20 ILAS HNO3, CH4, N2O, O3, and NO2 using ground-based measurements at Arrival Heights and Kiruna
Ground-based measurements of O3 and NO2 columns at Kiruna (68°N) and Arrival Heights (78°S) were used to validate stratospheric profile measurements of the same species by the satellite-based Improved Limb Atmospheric Spectrometer (ILAS) flown between November 1996 and June 1997. In addition, measurements of HNO3, CH4, and N2O made at Arrival Heights are compared with measurements of these spec...
