Investigating the Utility of Hyperspectral Sounders in the 9.6 Micrometer Band to Improve Ozone Analyses

Tropospheric and stratospheric ozone plays important roles in the Earth system and humanity's survival within it. The addition of 9.6 micrometer radiances to NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office’s systems may reduce ozone biases in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere, as shown in work carried out at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS).
