VALIDATION OF ISAMS RETRIEVALS OF ATMOSPHERIC-TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE by Dudhia, A, Livesey, N, Taylor, F

“…The ISAMS instrument on the UARS satellite uses the pressure-modulation radiometry technique to measure a variety of middle-atmosphere parameters. The temperature and pressure are retrieved using data from two CO2 modulators giving useful results in the altitude range 15-km to 80-km (100-mb to 0.01-mb) with a vertical resolution of approximately 2.5-km and precision of a few K in temperature and a few percent in pressure. …”

Zonal mean atmospheric distribution of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) by Burgess, AB, Grainger, R, Dudhia, A

“…The time evolution of the global structure is useful for age of air determination and the validation of dynamics in atmospheric models. By comparing solstice and equinox months from 2002 through to 2004, we observe differences which shift with seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation. …”

DIURNAL AND SEMI-DIURNAL TEMPERATURE VARIABILITY OF THE MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE, AS OBSERVED BY ISAMS by Dudhia, A, Smith, S, Wood, A, Taylor, F

“…Some preliminary results are presented showing that the ISAMS instrument on board the UARS satellite has detected sun-synchronous variations in atmospheric temperature between 15-80 km altitude. These are interpreted as the westward-migrating diurnal and semi-diurnal tides. …”
