As one of a few scientific groups in the world dealing with the radiative transfer modeling and the interpretation of measurements of the scattered solar radiation in the limb viewing geometry, the science team at the University of Bremen has a comprehensive 30 years long experience in this field. During the preparation (1984-1990), pre-launch (1990-2002), operation (2002-2012), and...

The radiative transfer program Siro solves limb and and nadir scattering radiance by the backward Monte method. In this talk we present a few selected results from Siro studies in the past. We also propose possible roles for Siro in the Altius project.

The SASKTRAN radiative transfer model was originally developed for operational processing of retrievals of stratospheric trace gas and aerosol from the OSIRIS limb scattered sunlight measurements. Initially designed to solve the radiative transfer equation through successive orders of scattering in a spherical atmosphere, the model has evolved to an extensive framework of modules to set the...

The Altius Radiative Transfer In-flight Simulator (ARTIS) is a software tool, developed at BISA, to simulate the light observed by the ALTIUS instrument on its orbit around the Earth.
Current key functionalities of this program are: (i) simulation of the movements of relevant planets in the solar system (including Earth), (ii) vectorial radiative transfer calculation in an oblate spheroid...
