RTMIPAS: A fast radiative transfer model for the assimilation of infrared limb radiances from MIPAS
An RTTOV-type fast radiative transfer model has been developed for emitted clear-sky limb radiances from the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) onboard ESA's Envisat. MIPAS is an infrared sounder with very high spectral resolution (0.025 cm, Table 1). It is designed to provide information on the thermal structure and chemical composition of the upper troposphere t...
متن کاملMultigrid Methods for Polarized Radiative Transfer
A new iterative method for non-LTE multilevel polarized radiative transfer in hydrogen lines is presented. Iterative methods (such as the Jacobi method) tend to damp out high-frequency components of the error fast, but converges poorly due to slow reduction of low-frequency components. The idea is to use a set of differently coarsed grids to reduce both the short-and long-period errors. This le...
متن کاملPolarized Radiative Transfer in Solar Atmosphere
The observations indicate the existence of linear polarization in the hydrogen Hα spectral line observed during the solar flare events. This emission of polarized radiation is of the order of 5% and is usually explained as a consequence of collisions of hydrogen atoms with the beam of fast protons coming from coronal regions. This article presents a brief overview of the recent solar flare pola...
متن کاملIntroduction to microwave radiative transfer May 2002
Abstract The following text gives a brief overview of microwave radiative transfer in atmospheres covering the principles of radiative transfer in an absorbing and scattering atmosphere including surface reflection and emission. A few approaches for radiative transfer modelling are presented. Models for atmospheric absorption, particle absorption and scattering as well as surface emission are i...
متن کاملSnow Retrieval Algorithm for Passive Microwave Remote Sensing Using Dense Media Radiative Transfer Theory
The Quasi-crystalline Approximation and the Dense Media Radiative Transfer Equation (QCADMRT) have been applied to active and passive microwave remote sensing of snow [1] [2]. The salient features of the model include weaker frequency dependence than Mie scattering for the same grain size and a stronger forward scattering than Rayleigh phase function. We use passive microwave satellite data fro...
