Description

Limb missions like MIPAS, ACE-FTS, or Aura/MLS have already ended or are expected to end several years before respective next-generation missions will be operative (e.g. the current ESA Earth Explorer 11 candidate CAIRT).

Here we present our updated MUSICA IASI processor and investigate the anomalies of H2O, N2O and SO2 as observed in the UTLS and the stratosphere during the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai event. We document the agreement to collocated observation of the limb-sounders Aura/MLS and ACE-FTS.

We conclude, that due to their long-term availability from the 2000s to the 2040s, the IASI/IASI-NG missions can bridge the limb-sounding observation gap, thus reducing the scientific impact of missing limb data products in the next decade.
