CEDAR email: AGU Fall Meeting Session A093: Satellite Limb Sounding of the Earth’s Atmosphere

[JIA.YUE at HAMPTONU.EDU]

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider submitting abstracts to our session at the upcoming AGU
Meeting in December on Satellite Limb Measurements —See
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session26612.


A093:
Satellite Limb Sounding of the Earth’s Atmosphere
Submit an Abstract to this Session

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