Satellite Observations of Tropospheric and Stratospheric Gases

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASIC,volume 557))

Abstract

In this lecture the scientific requirements for stratospheric and tropospheric remote sensing are discussed and recent developments are reviewed. The development of atmospheric trace constituent remote sounding is discussed. An emphasis is placed on stratospheric and tropospheric trace gas measurements from satellites orbiting the earth. The current and next generation of instrumentation to make global measurements is then discussed.
