摘要: Abstract The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) experiments obtain measurements of atmospheric composition, temperature, and pressure by observations millimeter- submillimeter-wavelength thermal emission as the instrument field view is scanned through limb. Features measurement technique include ability to measure many gases well temperature pressure, even in presence dense aerosol cirrus, provide near-global coverage on a daily basis at all times day night from an orbiting platform. composition are relatively insensitive uncertainties temperature. An accurate spectroscopic database available, calibration also very stable. first MLS experiment space, launched (NASA) Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) September 1991, was designed primarily stratospheric profiles ClO, O3, H2O, press...
