    Estimation of total ozone from satellite measurements of backscattered ultraviolet earth radiance. (1971)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Total ozone is estimated from Nimbus IV satellite measurements of the attenuation of backscattered radiances at wavelengths between 3100 and 3400 A. A measurement of the backscattered radiance at 3800 A, outside the ozone absorption band, is used to determine an equivalent Lambert albedo for the cloud-ground-haze surface viewed by the instrument. The measured relative attenuation at two wavelengths is compared with such values precomputed for a series of standard ozone profiles and corrected for the equivalent Lambert albedo. Total ozone is obtained by interpolation. Two alternative methods are used to assign an equivalent Lambert albedo at the absorbing wavelengths. Total ozone values estimated by these methods are compared with the Dobson (ground-truth) data by linear regression. The available evidence suggests that the true standard error of the satellite data may be 0.015 atm-cm or less for solar zenith angles smaller than 60 deg.

    Variations in the stratospheric ozone field inferred from Nimbus satellite observations. (1973)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: The ultraviolet earth radiance data from the backscatter ultraviolet experiment on Nimbus 4 have been inverted to infer ozone profiles using a single Rayleigh scattering model. Two methods of solution give essentially the same results. Comparison of these profiles with simultaneous rocket sounding data shows satisfactory agreement at low and middle latitudes. Vertical cross-sections of ozone mixing ratio along the orbital tracks indicate that while the gross characteristics of the ozone field above 10 mb are under photochemical control, the influence of atmospheric motions can be found up to the 4 mb level.

    The Nimbus-4 backscatter ultraviolet /BUV/ atmospheric ozone experiment Two years' operation. (1973)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Review of some of the procedures and results of the double monochromator and colinear photometer Nimbus-4 satellite experiment that measures ultraviolet terrestrial radiance, Lambert reflectivity of the lower boundary of the scattering atmosphere, and extraterrestrial solar irradiance. The experiment has produced nearly three years of almost continuous data which are being used to infer the high-level ozone distribution and total ozone on a global basis. The high-level ozone data have been verified by independent coincident rocket ozone soundings, and the total ozone values show good agreement with Dobson spectrophotometer determinations. An increase has been observed in equatorial radiance at 2550 A relative to 2900 A, which seems to indicate that the amount of ozone in the upper stratosphere is related to the eleven-year solar cycle.

    A possible correlation between maxima of the far ultraviolet solar irradiance and central meridian passages of solar magnetic sector boundaries (1974)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Satellite observations of the sun over almost five years have shown that principally two UV active longitudes have persisted over a significant portion. A comparison between the position of solar magnetic sector boundaries and UV enhancements of the sun indicates that the UV maxima tend to occur near the times when a solar sector boundary is near central meridian. An estimate of the magnitude of the variable UV solar energy input into the atmosphere resulting from the rotation of active solar longitudes is that for wavelengths less than 175 nm and down to H. Lyman-alpha it exceeds the annual variation, whereas at longer wavelengths it is less. The total observed peak-to-peak variation in the UV irradiance from 120 to 300 nm over a solar rotation is typically at least 230 ergs/sq cms.

    Space observations of the variability of solar irradiance in the near and far ultraviolet. (1973)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Satellite observations of UV solar irradiance in selected wavelength bands between 1200 and 3000 A have been made continuously by photometers consisting of broadband sensors operated on Nimbus 3 and 4, which were launched in April 1969 and April 1970, respectively. In addition, on Nimbus 4, spectrophotometer measurements of solar irradiance have been made with a dispersive instrument at 12 selected wavelengths from 2550 to 3400 A with a 10-A bandpass. Variations of solar irradiance associated with the solar rotational period have been observed since the launch of Nimbus 3. These variations are apparently associated with two source regions separated by about 180 deg in solar longitude. The change in irradiance with solar rotation was found to increase with decreasing wavelengths. Different types of observed variations in UV solar irradiance can be classified in accordance with characteristic times. In order of increasing periods, they are (1) flare-associated enhancements, (2) 27-day variations due to solar rotation, (3) a possible biennial effect, and (4) long-term variations associated with the 11-year solar cycle.

    An extreme UV photometer for solar observations from Atmosphere Explorer. (1973)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: A broadband photometer experiment is being prepared for the Atmosphere Explorer-C, -D, and -E missions to record the solar irradiance in seven wavelength bands in the range from 40 to 1250 A. The experiment contains four spiral electron multipliers located behind a moving eight-position filter wheel. Six of the eight sections of this wheel contain metallic filters used to spectrally isolate the solar irradiance. In addition, three Al2O3 diodes, two with filters, are being used to record the solar irradiance over the full range of orbital altitudes including those at which operation of multipliers with high voltages on open structures would be unsafe. A principal goal of the experiment will be to measure time dependence of the solar irradiance.

    Recent advances in satellite observations of solar variability and global atmospheric ozone (1974)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The launch of Nimbus 4 in April 1974 has made possible simultaneous measurements of the ultraviolet solar irradiance and the global distribution of atmospheric ozone by the monitor of ultraviolet solar energy (MUSE) and backscatter ultraviolet (BUV) experiments respectively. Two long lived ultraviolet active solar regions which are about 180 deg apart in solar longitude were observed to be associated with central meridian passages of solar magnetic sector boundaries. The boundaries may be significant in the evaluation of correlations between solar magnetic sector structure and atmospheric circulation.

    A possible correlation between maxima of the far ultraviolet solar irradiance and central meridian passages of solar magnetic sector boundaries (1974)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A description is given of the relationship observed between enhancements in the far ultraviolet solar irradiance and the position of the solar magnetic sector boundaries. The ultraviolet observations were made with the monitor of ultraviolet solar energy (MUSE) experiments which were launched aboard Nimbus 3 in April 1969 and Nimbus 4 April 1970. A comparison between the positions of solar magnetic sector boundaries and ultraviolet enchancements of the sun seems to show, at least during the year of 1969, that the ultraviolet maxima tend to occur near the times when a solar sector boundary is near the central meridian. An estimate of the magnitude of the variable ultraviolet solar energy input into the atmosphere resulting from the rotation of active solar longitudes is that for wavelengths less that 175 nm and down to H Lyman alpha it exceeds the annual variation whereas at longer wavelengths it is less. The total observed peak to peak variation in the ultraviolet irradiance from 120 to 300 nm over a solar rotation is typically at least 230 ergs/sq cm sec.
