Abstract

GOMOS is a medium resolution spectrometer designed to measure the concentrations of, and monitor the trends in, ozone and other atmospheric trace gases with very high accuracy. In addition, it can measure atmospheric turbulence, which is of interest for understanding the vertical exchange of energy between the lower and upper layers of the Earth`s atmosphere. GOMOS offers global coverage in a broad spectral range, extending from ultraviolet to the near-infrared.

Temperature, ozone, and nitric oxide experiment (TONE) for the thermosphere-ionosphere-mesosphere energetics and dynamics (TIMED) mission

Conference Rusch, D; Barth, C; Clancy, R

The Temperature-Ozone-Nitric Oxide Experiment (TONE) on the Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Energetics, and Dynamics (TIMED) mission consists of two ultraviolet spectrometers and an infrared photometer. A Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) covers the spectral region from 210 to 247 nm with 0.2 nm resolution, and a Low Resolution Spectrometer/Infrared Photometer (LRS/IRP) covers the 235 to 320 mn region with 2.0 nm resolution, and measures the 1.27 micron emission from molecular oxygen excited by ozone photolysis. The Earth`s limb is scanned by articulation mirrors which also serve as the field-of-view limiting elements. The TONE measures profiles of emission as a function of altitudemore »« less
Solar variations and their influence on trends in upper stratospheric ozone and temperature

Conference Wuebbles, D; Kinnison, D; Lean, J

Over the past decade, knowledge of the magnitude and temporal structure of the variations in the sun's ultraviolet irradiance has increased steadily. A number of theoretical modeling studies have shown that changes in the solar ultraviolet flux during the 11-year solar cycle can have a significant effect on stratospheric ozone concentrations. With the exception of Brasseur et al., who examined a very broad range of solar flux variations, all of these studies assumed much larger changes in the ultraviolet flux than measurements now indicate. These studies either calculated the steady-state effect at solar maximum and solar minimum or assumed sinusoidalmore »« less

Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) Handbook

Dataset Gero, Jonathan; Hackel, Denny; Garcia, Raymond

The atmospheric emitted radiance interferometer (AERI) is a ground-based instrument that measures the downwelling infrared radiance from the Earth's atmosphere. The observations have broad spectral content and sufficient spectral resolution to discriminate among gaseous emitters (e.g., carbon dioxide and water vapor) and suspended matter (e.g., aerosols, water droplets, and ice crystals). These upward-looking surface observations can be used to obtain vertical profiles of tropospheric temperature and water vapor, as well as measurements of trace gases (e.g., ozone, carbon monoxide, and methane) and downwelling infrared spectral signatures of clouds and aerosols.The AERI is a passive remote sounding instrument, employing a Fouriermore »« less

U.S. NO₂ trends (2005–2013): EPA air quality system (AQS) data versus improved observations from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)

Journal Article Lamsal, Lok; Duncan, Bryan; Yoshida, Yasuko; ... - Atmospheric Environment (1994)

Emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO_x) and, subsequently, atmospheric levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) have decreased over the U.S. due to a combination of environmental policies and technological change. Consequently, NO₂ levels have decreased by 30–40% in the last decade. We quantify NO₂ trends (2005–2013) over the U.S. using surface measurements from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Air Quality System (AQS) and an improved tropospheric NO₂ vertical column density (VCD) data product from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the Aura satellite.We demonstrate that the current OMI NO₂ algorithm is of sufficient maturity to allow a favorable correspondence of trendsmore »« less

ILAS for stratospheric ozone layer monitoring: Outline of data processing (version 3. 00 and 3. 10) and validation experiments

Journal Article Sasano, Yasuhiro; Suzuki, Makoto; Yokota, Tatsuya; ... - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing

The Improved Limb Atmospheric Spectrometer (ILAS) developed by the Environment Agency of Japan was successfully flown in space on board the sun synchronous polar-orbiting satellite ADEOS (Advanced Earth Observing Satellite) on August 17, 1996. ADEOS, with ILAS and other sensors on board, performed successfully until June 30, 1997, after which an unexpected sudden failure of the ADEOS satellite solar battery system prevented further measurements. ILAS made over 6,700 measurements of the stratospheric ozone layer with the solar occultation technique, producing vertical profiles of ozone, other ozone-chemistry related gases, aerosol extinction coefficients, temperature, and pressure in the high-latitude stratosphere. The ILASmore »« less
