Stratospheric temperatures : vertical resolution of retrieved profiles

This work describes the problem of retrieval of temperature profiles from Nimbus 4 Selective Chopper Radiometer (SCR) measurements of emission from the 15µm CO₂ absorption band. Vertical resolution diagnostics are discussed for : (a) an optimum retrieval estimator which uses a priori statistical in...
