Tropospheric products as a signal of interest – overview of troposphere sensing techniques
The microwave signals passing through the troposphere are delayed by refraction. Its high variations, both in time and space, are caused mainly by water vapor. The tropospheric delay used to be considered only as a source of error that needed to be removed. Nowadays, these delays are also a source of interest.

Estimation of Atmospheric Path Delays in TerraSAR-X Data using Models vs. Measurements
Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements of the Earth’s surface depend on electromagnetic waves that are subject to atmospheric path delays, in turn affecting geolocation accuracy.

Clouds, photolysis and regional tropospheric ozone budgets. [PDF]
We use a three-dimensional chemical transport model to examine the shortwave radiative effects of clouds on the tropospheric ozone budget. In addition to looking at changes in global concentrations as previous studies have done, we examine changes in ...

CARIBIC observations of gaseous mercury in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
A unique set of gaseous mercury measurements in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UT/LS) has been obtained during the monthly CARIBIC (www.caribic-atmospheric.com) flights since May 2005.

Tropospheric Ozone at Northern Mid-Latitudes: Modeled and Measured Long-Term Changes
In this paper, we investigate why current state-of-the-art chemistry-climate models underestimate the tropospheric ozone increase from the 1950s to the 1990s by approximately 50%.

Downward Control from Lower Stratosphere? [PDF]
The concept of downward control proposes a mechanism for the impact of the stratospheric circulation on the troposphere. Momentum forcing at upper-stratospheric levels induces a meridional circulation that eventually reaches the surface.

The potential of drone observations to improve air quality predictions by 4D-Var [PDF]
Vertical profiles of atmospheric pollutants, acquired by uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs, known as drones), represent a new type of observation that can help to fill the existing observation gap in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). This article presents
