Approach to the Cross-Validation of MIPAS and CHAMP Temperature and Water Vapour Profiles
The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) is a space-borne limb viewing mid-infrared high-resolution spectrometer launched on ENVISAT into polar orbit on 1 March 2002. Water vapour and temperature profiles are retrievable from spectral data in an altitude range from approximately 5 km up to the mesosphere. Complementing the operational analysis of ESA, a non-operatio...
متن کاملCloud Parameter Retrieval from Mipas Data
Clouds are a source of major uncertainty in climate models it is thus important to accurately model clouds in order to determine their properties. In this work, three cloud parameters (cloud top height, cloud top temperature and cloud extinction coefficient) are used to model the radiance measured in the MIPAS field-of-view as they represent the most obvious physical, thermodynamic and optical ...
متن کاملPrecision validation of MIPAS-Envisat products
This paper discusses the variation and validation of the precision, or estimated random error, associated with the ESA Level 2 products from the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS). This quantity represents the propagation of the radiometric noise from the spectra through the retrieval process into the Level 2 profile values. The noise itself varies with time, stea...
متن کاملOptimized forward model and retrieval scheme for MIPAS near-real-time data processing.
An optimized code to perform the near-real-time retrieval of profiles of pressure, temperature, and volume mixing ratio (VMR) of five key species (O(3), H(2)O, HNO(3), CH(4), and N(2)O) from infrared limb spectra recorded by the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) experiment on board the European Space Agency (ESA) Environmental Satellite ENVISAT-1 was developed as...
