Journal ArticleDOI
Satellite studies of the stratospheric aerosol
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on two recently deployed NASA satellite systems (SAM II and SAGE) that are monitoring the stratospheric aerosol layer and obtain vertical aerosol and gaseous extinction profiles with 1 km vertical resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II water vapor observations - Method, validation, and data characteristics
D. Rind,E. W. Chiou,William P. Chu,S. J. Oltmans,J. Lerner,J. C. Larsen,M. P. McCormick,L. R. McMaster +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II solar occultation instrument was used to perform water vapor observations in the troposphere and stratosphere performed by the stratospheric aerosol and gas experiment II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Satellite and Correlative Measurements of the Stratospheric Aerosol. II: Comparison of Measurements Made by SAM II, Dustsondes and an Airborne Lidar
P. B. Russell,M. P. McCormick,T. J. Swissler,William P. Chu,John M. Livingston,W. H. Fuller,J. M. Rosen,David J. Hofmann,L. R. McMaster,David C. Woods,T. J. Pepin +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first set of measurements conducted to validate extinction data from the Stratospheric Aerosol Measurement II (SAM II) were shown to agree within their respective uncertainties at all heights above the tropopause.
Journal ArticleDOI
Annual variations of water vapor in the stratosphere and upper troposphere observed by the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II
M. P. McCormick,E. W. Chiou,L. R. McMaster,William P. Chu,J. C. Larsen,D. Rind,S. J. Oltmans +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, data collected by the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II is presented, showing annual variations of water vapor in the stratosphere and the upper troposphere, supporting the concept of a common source for stratospheric dry air.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Latitude Stratospheric Aerosols Measured by the SAM II Satellite System in 1978 and 1979.
M. P. McCormick,William P. Chu,Gerald W. Grams,P. Hamill,Benjamin M. Herman,L. R. McMaster,T. J. Pepin,Philip B. Russell,Helen M. Steele,T. J. Swissler +9 more
TL;DR: Results of the first year of data collection by the SAM (Stratospheric Aerosol Measurement) II satellite system are presented and wintertime polar stratospheric clouds that are strongly correlated with temperature are documented.
