DÉFINITION
- The STRATOSPHERIC AND MESOSPHERIC SOUNDER (SAMS) objective was to observe the limb of the atmosphere through various pressure modulator radiometers in order to measure vertical concentrations of H2O, CH4, CO, and NO; observe resonant scattering of solar radiation in spectral bands H2O, CO2, CO, and NO; measure the temperature of the stratosphere and mesosphere to ~90 kilometers altitude; investigate source function and departure from the thermodynamic equilibrium between 80 and 130 kilometers associated with CO2 emission bands, and measure the zonal wind velocity component along the line of sight.
