Limb Retrieval Capability of the Spirit 3 Radiometer

Abstract

Noise levels were predicted as a function of tangent height for limb radiance profiles that will be measured by the SPIRIT 3 radiometer. Synthetic data was inverted to quantify the corresponding uncertainties in retrieved volume emission rates, and to quantify expected errors due to horizontal variations in atmospheric density. A new computer routine for derivative-free Abel inversion is described.
