Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of the EOS aura mission
Mark R. Schoeberl,Anne R. Douglass,Ernest Hilsenrath,Pawan K. Bhartia,Reinhard Beer,Joe W. Waters,Michael R. Gunson,Lucien Froidevaux,John C. Gille,John J. Barnett,Pieternel F. Levelt,P. DeCola +11 more
TL;DR: Aura, the last of the large Earth Observing System observatories, was launched on July 15, 2004 and all of the instruments are performing as expected, and HIRDLS will likely be able to deliver most of their planned data products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tropospheric emission spectrometer: retrieval method and error analysis
Kevin W. Bowman,Clive D. Rodgers,Susan S. Kulawik,John Worden,E. Sarkissian,G. B. Osterman,Tilman Steck,Ming Lou,Annmarie Eldering,Mark W. Shephard,Helen M. Worden,M. Lampel,Shepard A. Clough,Patrick D. Brown,Curtis P. Rinsland,Michael R. Gunson,Reinhard Beer +16 more
TL;DR: The methodology is based on the maximum a posteriori estimate, which mathematically requires the minimization of the difference between observed spectral radiances and a nonlinear model of radiative transfer of the atmospheric state subject to the constraint that the estimated state must be consistent with an a priori probability distribution for that state.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) carries and points a three-channel imaging grating spectrometer designed to collect high-resolution, co-boresighted spectra of reflected sunlight within the molecular oxygen (O2) A-band at 0.765 microns and the carbon dioxide (CO2) bands at 1.61 and 2.06 microns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of source gas lifetimes from stratospheric observations
C. M. Volk,James W. Elkins,David W. Fahey,Geoff S. Dutton,Jonathan M. Gilligan,Max Loewenstein,J. R. Podolske,K. R. Chan,Michael R. Gunson +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the mean age of the air from the SF6 measurements and showed how stratospheric lifetimes of the other species may be derived semiempirically from their observed gradients with respect to mean age at the extratropical tropopause.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the first major release of the OCO2 retrieval algorithm (B7r) and X_(CO2) from OCO-2's primary ground-based validation network: the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) were compared.
