Satellite Limb Sounding of the Earth’s Atmosphere<br>
Submit an Abstract to this Session<br>
<br>
Session ID#: 26612<br>
Session Description:<br>
A number of Earth-orbiting satellite instruments are making atmospheric <br>
measurements using limb-sounding techniques. These include occultation, <br>
scattering, emission, and satellite-to-satellite attenuation. Solar <br>
occultation like that used by SAGE II has been a very successful <br>
approach to producing high vertical resolution species profiles, but <br>
with limited global coverage. Limb scattering, like that used by OMPS <br>
and SAGE III-ISS, expands the global coverage producing species’ <br>
profiles on the sun side of the orbit. Limb emission instruments, like <br>
MLS and SABER, are capable of measuring atmospheric gases on a more <br>
global scale day and night. This session serves as a forum to <br>
demonstrate various applications of limb sounders, used alone or in <br>
concert with other techniques, to improve our understanding of current <br>
science issues, including trend studies, photochemistry applications, <br>
dynamics and transport, and aerosol and cloud characterizations. Papers <br>
are solicited on current and new limb sounding techniques, science <br>
results, and multiple instrument intercomparisons.<br>
