Estimation of the daytime and nighttime distribution of atmospheric ozone from ground-based millimeter wavelength measurements.
Abstract
The daytime and nighttime distribution of the ozone density in the atmosphere has been determined from ground-based measurements of the emission spectra of the strong 4(0,4) = 4(1,3) rotational line of ozone at 101.737 GHz (wavelength = 2.9 mm) using a least-squares parameter estimation technique. The inversion procedure is described, and a linearized model is used to obtain approximate error bounds on the ozone parameter estimates.
