Summary

Abstract: The Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (ISAMS) on NASA's
Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) measured the global
temperature and composition profiles in the stratosphere and
mesosphere. The main objectives are to obtain atmospheric temperature
measurements as a function of pressure, to study water vapor
variability in ...
