Studies for the Odin Sub-Millimeter Radiometer (A Three Part Study).

摘要

This study is devoted to the aeronomy mission of the sub millimeter (SMR) instrument on board the Swedish satellite Odin. It is a three part series describing the data processing of SMR calibrated measurements to geophysical parameters. Part I addresses the modeling of atmospheric radiative transfer and the effect of instrumental properties through a forward model. Part II presents the inversion methodology developed to retrieve atmospheric vertical profiles of trace gases. Part III describes the choices of observing modes and the expected performance of the SMR instrument.
