Microwave remote sensing of stratospheric trace gases using digital Fast Fourier Transform spectrometers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Institute of Applied Physics observes middle atmospheric trace gases, such as ozone and water vapour, by microwave radiometry. We report on the comparison of measurements using a novel digital Fast Fourier Transform and accousto optical spectrometers. First tests made on ground are presented as well as first experience about the use of such spectrometers under aircraft conditions.

Simultaneous ground-based observations of O3, HCl, N2O, and CH4 over Toronto, Canada by three Fourier transform spectrometers with different resolutions
An intercomparison of three Fourier transform spectrometers (FTSs) with significantly different resolutions is presented. The highest-resolution instrument has a maximum optical path difference of 250 cm, and the two lowerresolution instruments have maximum optical path differences of 50 cm and 25 cm. The results indicate that the two lower-resolution instruments can retrieve total column amoun...
متن کاملMolecular Absorption
Remote sensing (from ground-, airplane-, balloon-, or satellite-based platforms) is a powerful and versatile tool to estimate profiles of atmospheric temperature, trace gases, etc. and has been established as indispensable for research on climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion etc. An essential prerequisite is the accurate and complete knowledge of the absorption properties of the atmosp...
متن کاملFourier Transform Spectroscopy with Partially Scanned Interferograms as a Tool to Retrieve Atmospheric Gases Concentrations from High Spectral Resolution Satellite Observations – Methodological Aspects and Application to IASI
In the context of infrared remote sensing, the idea of using partially scanned interferograms for the retrieval of atmospheric parameters dates back to Kyle (1977) who argued that large portions of the spectrum (the Fourier transform of the interferogram and vice versa) could bring poor or no information for a given atmospheric parameter, whereas small ranges in the interferogram domain could c...

Introduction: Target transformation and factor analysis techniques are applied to the data returned by the Planetary Fourier spectrometer (PFS) on board the ESA Mars Express (MEX) mission. The data analyzed were obtained by the long wavelength channel (LWC) of PFS, in the range roughly from 300 to 1300 cm
متن کاملClimatology and variability of trace gases in extratropical double-tropopause regions from MLS, HIRDLS, and ACE-FTS measurements
Upper tropospheric and lower stratospheric measurements from the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS), the Aura High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS), and the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment-Fourier transform spectrometer (ACE-FTS) are used to present the first global climatological comparison of extratropical, nonpolar trace gas distributions in double-tropopause (DT) and single-tropopa...
