Atmospheric stuides from satellite and ground-based instrumentation

拟议的研究方案将利用卫星提供的数据，提供关于平流层上部、整个中间层以及进入热层下部的大气状态矢量（特别是成分和温度）的新信息。我们打算利用奥丁卫星上的OSIRIS仪器-光谱仪和成像仪-的数据集。数据反演方法将使用萨斯喀彻温大学小组开发的层析成像算法以及嵌入强太阳背景中的弱发射的新方法。这些分析程序允许检索测量量的垂直和水平结构。

The proposed research program will provide new information on the atmospheric state vectors (particularly composition and temperature) in the upper stratosphere, throughout the mesosphere and into the lower thermosphere using data from satellites. We intend to take advantage of the data-set from the OSIRIS instrument - a spectrograph and imager - on the Odin satellite. The data inversion methods will use both the tomographic algorithms developed by the University of Saskatchewan group as well new approaches for weak emissions embedded in a strong solar background. These analysis procedures allow both the vertical and horizontal structure of the measured quantities to be retrieved.
