Comparison of GPS/SAC-C and MIPAS/ENVISAT temperature profiles and its implementation for EOS AURA-MLS observations (2005)

Jiang, Jonathan H., Wang, Ding-Yi, Romans, Larry J., Ao, Chi O., Schwartz, Michael J., Stiller, Gabriele P., ...

A new generation GPS flight receiver was launched on the Argentinian satellite SAC-C in 2001. It has demonstrated the potential applicability for the continuous monitoring of the earth's atmosphere...

Studies in Support of an Advanced ESA Mission to Sound Atmospheric Composition After Envisat (2004)

Kerridge, B., Baran, A., Birk, Manfred, Buehler, S., Camy-Peyret, C., Clerbaux, C., ...

During the last three years, two studies have been undertaken in parallel for ESA to consolidate the scientific basis for an advanced future mission to sound atmospheric composition in the period...

Advanced MIPAS-Level-2 Data Analysis (AMIL2DA) (2003)

Clarmann Von, Thomas, Birk, Manfred, Bovensmann, Heinrich, Bracher, Astrid, Burgess, Alastair, Cecherini, Simone, ...

The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS), which is a core instrument of the Envisat polar platform launched on 1 March 2002 by the European Space Agency (ESA), is a...

A blind test retrieval experiment for infrared limb emission spectrometry (2003)

Clarmann Von, Thomas, Ceccherini, Simone, Doicu, Adrian, Dudhia, Anu, Funke, Bernd, Grabowski, U., ...

The functionality and characteristics of six different data processors (i.e., retrieval codes in their actual software and hardware environment) for analysis of high-resolution limb emission infrared...

Sequential and Joint Retrieval of Trace Gas Profiles (2002)

Schwarz, Gottfried, Hilgers, Siegfried, Kemnitzer, Holger, Steck, Tilman, Clarmann Von, Thomas, Höpfner, Michael, ...

A purely sequential retrieval of trace gas profiles from limb sounding measurements may lead to error propagation, especially in the case of water vapor retrieval. A joint (i.e. simultaneous)...

Trace Gas Retrieval Including Horizontal Gradients (2002)

Kemnitzer, Holger, Hilgers, Siegfried, Schwarz, Gottfried, Steck, Tilman, Clarmann Von, Thomas, Höpfner, Michael, ...

Der Einfluss horizontaler Gradienten auf das Retrieval von Vertikalprofilen wird demonstriert und analysiert.

Constrained Constituent Retrieval in the MIPAS ENVISAT Level 2 Off-Line Processor (2001)

Steck, Tilman, Clarmann Von, Thomas

The retrieval method applied in the MIPAS level 2 off-line processor is described with regard to specific constraints aiming at optimised data quality. The data quality can be optimized either with...

Experience Gained with the MIPAS Level 2 Off-Line Processor (2001)

Hilgers, Siegfried, Kemnitzer, Holger, Ressel, Klaus, Schwarz, Gottfried, Steck, Tilman, Clarmann Von, Thomas, ...

Performance tests of the MIPAS level 2 off-line processor led to in-depth experiences with retrieval options and performance characteristics. These depend on various parameters like microwindows,...

Trace Gas Retrieval Including Horizontal Gradients (2000)

Kemnitzer, Holger, Hilgers, Siegfried, Schwarz, Gottfried, Steck, Tilman, Clarmann Von, Thomas, Höpfner, Michael, ...

The results of trace gas retrievals of limb sounding measurements will be affected by a horizontally inhomogeneous atmosphere. In this case, the horizontal gradients should be included in the...

Sequential and Joint Retrieval of Trace Gas Profiles (2000)

Schwarz, Gottfried, Hilgers, Siegfried, Kemnitzer, Holger, Steck, Tilman, Clarmann Von, Thomas, Höpfner, Michael, ...

We demonstrate that a joint (i.e. simultaneous) retrieval of atmospherical trace gases from limb sounding measurements can outperform a purely sequential retrieval of the same trace gases. The reason...

Experience Gained with the MIPAS Level 2 Off-Line Processor (2000)

Hilgers, Siegfried, Kemnitzer, Holger, Ressel, Klaus, Schwarz, Gottfried, Steck, Tilman, Clarmann Von, Thomas, ...

The experience gained with the MIPAS level 2 offline processor will be described. In particular, the layout of the processor will be explained and results for various trace gas retrievals will be...
