Tropospheric methane in the tropics – first year from IASI hyperspectral infrared observations
Simultaneous observations from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) and from the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU), launched together onboard the European MetOp platform in October 2006, are used to retrieve a mid-to-upper tropospheric content of methane (CH4) in clear-sky conditions, in the tropics, over sea, for the first 16 months of operation of MetOp (July 2007–Oct...
متن کاملDerivation of tropospheric carbon dioxide and methane concentrations in the boreal zone from satellite-based hyper-spectral infrared sounders data
Introduction The development of space-borne hyper-spectral IR sounders (AIRS/EOS-Aqua, IASI/MetOp) opens new opportunities for detecting the variations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) concentrations. The capabilities to retrieve atmospheric column-average CO2 mixing ratio and similar column-average CH4 mixing ratio (or CH4 columns) from satellite measurements is of signifi...

This paper presents at first an updated status of atmospheric column-average CO2 mixing ratio XCO2 retrieval scheme based on clear-sky or cloud-cleared AIRS/EOS-Aqua data inversion algorithm. Maps of monthly averaged XCO2 estimates have been produced for extensive region of Siberia with spatial averaging about 1.5 x1.5. Similar methodology has been applied for the retrieval of “instant” XCO2 fr...
متن کاملCombined assimilation of IASI and MLS observations to constrain tropospheric and stratospheric ozone in a global chemical transport model
Accurate and temporally resolved fields of freetroposphere ozone are of major importance to quantify the intercontinental transport of pollution and the ozone radiative forcing. We consider a global chemical transport model (MOdèle de Chimie Atmosphérique à Grande Échelle, MOCAGE) in combination with a linear ozone chemistry scheme to examine the impact of assimilating observations from the Mic...
متن کاملAccuracy Improvement of Tropospheric Delay Interpolation in RTK Networks
The effect of troposphere on the signals emitted from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellites, appears as an extra delay in the measurement of the signal traveling from the satellite to receiver. This delay depends on the temperature, pressure, humidity as well as the transmitter and receiver antennas location. In GNSS positioning, tropospheric delay effects on accuracy of differen...
