Journal ArticleDOI
Retrieval of mesospheric and lower thermospheric kinetic temperature from measurements of CO2 15 µm Earth Limb Emission under non‐LTE conditions
Christopher J. Mertens,Martin G. Mlynczak,Manuel López-Puertas,Peter P. Wintersteiner,Richard H. Picard,Jeremy R. Winick,Larry L. Gordley,James M. Russell +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new algorithm for the retrieval of kinetic temperature in the terrestrial mesosphere and lower thermosphere from measurements of CO2 15 µm earth limb emission is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
SABER observations of mesospheric temperatures and comparisons with falling sphere measurements taken during the 2002 summer MaCWAVE campaign
Christopher J. Mertens,Francis J. Schmidlin,Richard A. Goldberg,Ellis E. Remsberg,W. Dean Pesnell,James M. Russell,Martin G. Mlynczak,Manuel López-Puertas,Peter P. Wintersteiner,Richard H. Picard,Jeremy R. Winick,Larry L. Gordley +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the SABER instrument was launched onboard the TIMED satellite in December 2001, and the authors derived profiles of kinetic temperature (Tk) from broadband measurements of CO2 15 μm limb emission, in combination with measurements of co2 4.3 μm emission used to derive CO2 volume mixing ratio (vmr).
Journal ArticleDOI
The natural thermostat of nitric oxide emission at 5.3 μm in the thermosphere observed during the solar storms of April 2002
Martin G. Mlynczak,F. Javier Martin-Torres,James M. Russell,Ken Beaumont,Steven B. Jacobson,Janet U. Kozyra,Manuel López-Puertas,Bernd Funke,Christopher J. Mertens,Larry L. Gordley,Richard H. Picard,Jeremy R. Winick,Peter P. Wintersteiner,Larry J. Paxton +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the SABER observations at 5.3 μm and their interpretation in terms of energy loss, indicating that such perturbations to the thermospheric state, while dramatic, are short-lived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of carbon dioxide in cooling planetary thermospheres
TL;DR: In this paper, a new value of the rate coefficient for the deactivation of the bending mode of carbon dioxide by atomic oxygen at low temperatures is derived from the observation of 15 µm emission from the atmosphere of the Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations of infrared radiative cooling in the thermosphere on daily to multiyear timescales from the TIMED/SABER instrument
Martin G. Mlynczak,Linda A. Hunt,B. Thomas Marshall,F. Javier Martin-Torres,Christopher J. Mertens,James M. Russell,Ellis E. Remsberg,Manuel López-Puertas,Richard H. Picard,Jeremy R. Winick,Peter P. Wintersteiner,R. Earl Thompson,Larry L. Gordley +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the infrared radiative cooling by carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO) in Earth s thermosphere was analyzed using the SABER instrument on the NASA TIMED satellite.
