Data collected by the limb scattering instrument within the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) has taught us a great deal about the performance peculiarities of imaging limb sensors. Like ALTIUS, OMPS images the vertical extent of the Earth's limb using a 2-dimensional detector. In the case of OMPS the vertical coverage is approximately 100 km. This approach has advantages when...

Sentinel-5 Precursor (S-5P) is the first of a series of atmospheric chemistry missions to be launched within the European Commission’s Copernicus (former GMES) Programme. With the current launch window of summer 2017 and a nominal lifetime of 7 years, S-5P is expected to provide continuity in the availability of global atmospheric data products between its predecessor missions SCIAMACHY...

The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometers (IASI) are a suite of nadir sounders onboard the European MetOp platforms. The first instrument was launched on MetOp-A in 2007 and is still in operation. It was followed by IASI-B in 2012, and a third instrument is schedule for launch in 2018. Overall the IASI program will thus provide an unprecedented record of atmospheric measurements of 20...

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) III is a fifth generation occultation instrument from NASA Langley Research Center. Launched onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on February 19, 2017 and installed on the International Space Station (ISS), SAGE III will utilize solar occultation, lunar occultation, and limb scanning techniques to observe Earth’s stratosphere and upper...
