Inversion of the measurements obtained by the infrared limb scanner on the Nimbus 6 satellite has demonstrated that the Stratospheric and Mesospheric temperatures and ozone concentrations may be obtained remotely from space with accuracy and precision comparable to in situ methods.

Such global data have many applications in middle atmospheric research and operational temperature sounding. Show less
