Abstract

High spectral resolution thermal emission spectra of the Earth's stratosphere have been analyzed to retrieve stratospherc thermal struture and the mixing ratio profiles of several minor constituents in the NOx family. The retrieval techniques include line-by-line spectral calculations with an onion-peeling inversion scheme. The retrieved profiles are compared to other observations and a 1-D photochemical model.
