- Abstract:
- HIRDLS is an infrared limb sounder to measure stratospheric temperature and constituents from the NASA EOS Aura satellite. The measurements will be used to advance our understanding of dynamical processes which control transport in the stratosphere and upper troposphere, and so directly affect the Earth's climate. The project is joint with a group at the University of Colorado in the USA, who are funded by NASA. The UK part of the project was approved by the SERC in 1991 until after launch, and this application requests release of the funding for Oxford University for the period 2001 - 2004, which will cover the instrument calibration, integration onto the spacecraft, flight operations, the production, use and validation of the data processing software, and data product validation.
