Demonstration of Greenhouse Gas Sounding by IR-Laser Occultation by a Ground-Based Crosslink Experiment at the Canary Islands
Abstract
The new climate satellite mission concept ACCURATE is based on inter-satellite sounding between Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and employs LEO-LEO microwave and infrared-laser occultation (LMIO) for profiling of greenhouse gases (GHGs), thermodynamic variables and wind in the free atmosphere. The GHG profiling is estimated to achieve a climatological r.m.s. error of
