Description
The SASKTRAN radiative transfer model has been used for over twenty years in the retrieval processes associated with the Canadian OSIRIS instrument in operation onboard the Swedish spacecraft Odin. It started as a single Rayleigh scatter model first developed in the mid-1990s and has evolved into something much more. This presentation will detail the latest SASKTRAN developments that make it useful for a wide variety of remote sensing applications that range from A-Band emissions measured with the Swedish instrument MATS, to nadir emission in the thermal infrared measured by a new Canadian concept, NH3Sat. SASKTRAN is fully documented and readily available for use by all scientists in the atmospheric remote sensing community.
