Analysis of TOMS-derived Lambert-equivalent reflectivities for the period 1996-2002
This study focuses on the analysis of the Lambert-equivalent reflectivities at 360 nm as acquired by the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instrument on board the Earth Probe satellite, for the period July 1996 to December 2002. The analysis is related to the sudden stratospheric warming (SSW)...
