Stratospheric-trace-gas-profile retrievals from balloon-borne limb imaging of mid-infrared emission spectra

Abstract cm - 1 H 2 O, O 3 CH 4 N 2 O, as well as HNO 3, are performed using an optimal estimation approach and the SASKTRAN radiative transfer model. The retrieved profiles are compared to approximately coincident observations made by the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS) solar occultation and Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) instruments. An evaluation of the LIFE measurements is performed, and areas of improvement are identified. This work increases the overall technical readiness of the approach for future balloon, aircraft, and space applications.
