Occultations for Probing Atmosphere and Climate available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Use of occultation methodology for observing the Earth's atmosphere and climate has become so broad as to comprise solar, lunar, stellar, navigation and satellite crosslink occultation methods. The atmospheric parameters obtained extend from the fundamental variables temperature, density, pressure, water vapor, and ozone via a multitude of trace gas species to particulate species such as aerosols and cloud liquid water. Ionospheric electron density is sensed as well. The methods all share the key properties of self-calibration, high accuracy and vertical resolution, global coverage, and (if using radio signals) all-weather capability. Occultation data are thus of high value in a wide range of fields including climate monitoring and research, atmospheric physics and chemistry, operational meteorology, and other fields such as space weather and planetary science. This wide area of variants and uses of the occultation method has led to a diversi fication of the occultation-related scientific community into a range of different sub-communities, however. The 1st International Workshop on Occultations for Probing Atmosphere and Cli mate-OPAC-1- held September 16-20, 2002, in Graz, Austria, has set in ex actly at this point. OPAC-1 aimed at providing a casual forum and stimulating at mosphere fertilizing scientific discourse, co-operation initiatives, and mutual learning and support amongst members of all the different sub-communities. The workshop was attended by about 80 participants from 17 different countries who actively contributed to a scientific programme of high quality and to an excellent workshop atmosphere, which was judged by the participants to have fully met the aims expressed.

Download and read online ebook Mesospheric Temperature and Ozone Sounding Based on Solar Occultation Data write by Christoph Rehrl. This book was released on 2008-09-01. Mesospheric Temperature and Ozone Sounding Based on Solar Occultation Data available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The understanding of physical and chemical processes of the Earth atmosphere is of crucial importance to daily life and to future conditions of this planet. Observations of atmospheric parameters with high quality and long-term stability are essential for climate system monitoring. This work develops and demonstrates the performance of a realistic forward model and retrieval algorithm for mesospheric temperature and ozone sounding employing the solar occultation technique. The solar intensity in the ultraviolet wavelength region is monitored by a satellite tracking the Sun in limb geometry during occultation by the Earth's atmosphere. A processing system is presented and used to calculate atmospheric profiles from the solar radiation. This includes a mathematical description of the measurement and retrieval. The author Christoph Rehrl presents an end-to-end retrieval performance analysis for the developed retrieval processing system which was found to produce data with high vertical resolution and accuracy. This work provides a comprehensive insight in the present status as well as future developments in the field of solar occultations for probing atmosphere and climate.
