Toaccomplish this, a wide range of observations will        berequired to provide both new measurements, not previouslyachievable and measurements with a greater degreee ofaccuracy and resolution than the ones which are presentlyand currently available.Among the parameters  that are currently retrieved fromsatellite vertical sounding observations, temperature andmoisture profiles are the most important for the            descriptionof the thermodynamic state of the medium. Other                 parameters,like those describing the cloud fields, the surface state       orthe conditions close to the surface are also key parametersfor      meteorology and climatology.A new generation of high spectral atmospheric  sounders inthe infrared has recently been designed to provide both         newand more accurate data about the §16§ atmosphere, land and oceansfor    application to climate studies. Among the importantobservations that these instruments should contribute to theclimate data set are day and night     global measurements of:atmospheric temperature profiles; relative          humidityprofiles; cloud field parameters; total ozone burden of            theatmosphere; distribution of minor atmospehric gases(methane, carbonmonoxide and nitrous oxide).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48772747460843,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":201.41,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9783642846014","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
