: An atmospheric data base consisting of volume mixing ratios (o0 to 12okm) for twenty eight (28) minor and trace gases has been assembled for use with spectral radiance transmittance models. Six references atmospheres, each defining temperature, pressure and density as a function of altitude (selected from the U.S. Standard Supplements, 1966 and the U.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1976) provide a range of climatological choices. Analogous zonal-mean descriptions for 2O, O3, N2O, CO, and CH4 have been subsequently adapted from satellite data and/or dynamical-photochemical analyses. The remaining species are defined by single profiles, usually appropriate for U.S. Standard conditions. Because the entire profile set is preferentially based on available measurements, explicit photochemical consistency between the different species has not been maintained.

Dust layer effects on the atmospheric radiative budget and heating rate profiles
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of mineral aerosol optical properties and vertical distribution on clear-sky, instantaneous and daily-average aerosol direct radiative effects (DREs) and heating rates (HRs) was analyzed in the solar (S, 0.3-4μm) and terrestrial (T, 4-80μm), respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cloud filtering method for upper tropospheric humidity (UTH) measurements at 183.31±1.00 GHz was presented. And the robustness of this method is demonstrated by a mid-latitudes winter case study.
Iteratively Regularized Gauss-Newton Method for Atmospheric Remote Sensing Applied to MIPAS and SCIAMACHY Limb Sounding Observations
TL;DR: In this article, a retrieval algorithm for atmospheric remote sensing is presented, which combines the Tikhonov regularization and the iteratively Gauss-Newton method and is devoted to the solution of multi-parameter inverse problems with simple bounds on the variables.
