Opto-Mechanical Inertial Sensors (OMIS) for High Temporal Resolution Gravimetry [PDF]
<p>Gravity field measurement by free-falling atoms has the potential for very high stability<br>over time as the measurement exposes a direct, fundamental relationship between mass<br>and acceleration. However, the measurement rate of the current state-of-the-art limits<br>the performance

Accounting for the effects of surface BRDF on satellite cloud and trace-gas retrievals: a new approach based on geometry-dependent Lambertian equivalent reflectivity applied to OMI algorithms [PDF]
Most satellite nadir ultraviolet and visible cloud, aerosol, and trace-gas algorithms make use of climatological surface reflectivity databases. For example, cloud and NO2 retrievals for the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) use monthly gridded surface ...

Validation of OMI erythemal doses with multi-sensor ground-based measurements in Thessaloniki, Greece [PDF]
The aim of this study is to validate the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) erythemal dose rates using ground-based measurements in Thessaloniki, Greece. In the Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, a Yankee Environmental System UVB-1 radiometer measures the erythemal dose rates every minute, and a Norsk ...
