Monthly composite data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite sensor was used to reconstruct vegetation dynamics in response to climate patterns over the period 2001–05 for North America. Results imply that plant growth over extensive land areas were closely coupled to El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects on regional climate. Areas strongly tied to recen...

Abstract. This study presents a new total column ozone (TCO) retrieval from the Koherent system, developed at Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium Davos, World Radiation Center (PMOD/WRC). The instrument is based on small, cost-effective, robust, low-maintenance and state-of-the-art-technology array spectroradiometer. It consists of BTS-2048-UV-S-F spectroradiometer Gigahertz-Optik GmbH,...
