Transmision spectra calculated using a climatological atmosphere for 60
degrees N
latitude during summer. Band locations are indicated. |
Simulated transmission profiles for the absorbing and non-absorbing
bands based on a climatological atmosphere for 60N during summer.
Diamonds indicate negative differences. The signal is
almost entirely due to particles: PMCs in the mesosphere and
sulfate aerosols in the stratosphere.
