Abstract | IASI is a Fourier Transform Interferometer that covers the spectral range 3.5-16 /spl mu/m; it is being developed to meet the accuracy specifications issued by the Third Meteorological Organization for operational use in numerical weather prediction; the total amount of ozone and some information about its vertical distribution, fractional cloud cover and cloud top temperature/pressure are mission objectives as well. The main mathematical problem for retrieving the atmospheric profile of temperature and chemical concentration is the inversion of the radiative transfer equation (RTE). In Amato et al. (1999) (and references therein) an algorithm has been proposed for the RTE numerical inversion where the atmosphere is divided into N layers and the related geophysical parameters (temperature and chemical constituents) are represented by their average values. Even though the procedure has been proved effective in several circumstances, it is far from being used for (real-time) operational purposes (e.g., numerical weather prediction) mainly because of the computational time needed for its solution. The bottleneck is the computation of radiance and, in particular, of the Jacobian at every iteration. In Amato (1998) a quasi-analytical method was proposed for both that dramatically cuts computational time and contemporarily heavily increases the accuracy of the computations. However it relies on a line-by-line radiative transfer model for computing optical depths that is the current bottleneck of the method. The aim of the present paper is to introduce a method for the fast computation of radiances and the Jacobian. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
