Ozone Corrections for Rayleigh-Scatter Temperature Determinations in the Middle Atmosphere

A well-established technique for the determination of temperature in the middle atmosphere is the retrieval of temperature profiles from density profiles of air. The measurement of air density profiles from the ground and from space are typically determined from measurements of Rayleigh-scattered li...

Summary:A well-established technique for the determination of temperature in the middle atmosphere is the retrieval of temperature profiles from density profiles of air. The measurement of air density profiles from the ground and from space are typically determined from measurements of Rayleigh-scattered light.
