Aura / MLS / Nitric Acid


Multimedia Items Available Relating to Aura / MLS / Nitric Acid
This animation shows nitric acid (HNO3) in the atmosphere from August 13 through October 15, 2004. Red represents high concentrations; blue represents low concentrations. The spatial resolution is low: each pixel covers an area of 5 degrees longitude by 2 degrees latitude, so the entire world (except for 1 degree at each pole) is covered by the 72x89 pixel images.   3100   Nitric acid from new Microwave Limb Sounder on Aura (WMS)
EOS MLS continues the successful effort started on UARS MLS, and uses advanced technology to provide important new measurements. Particularly noteworthy in this regard are its capabilities for OH, HO2, and BrO; measurements of these species have never before been possible on a global scale, but are essential for a comprehensive understanding of stratospheric chemistry.   3062   The Microwave Limb Sounder Observes the Lower Stratosphere and Upper Troposphere
Nitric Acid, August 13, 2004   3059   New Data from Aura's Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) Nitric Acid
