SMR
Sub-millimeter Microwave RadiometerThe Swedish SMR instrument, developed jointly with France and Finland, was launched on 20 February 2001 on board the Swedish mini-satellite ODIN . This microwave receiver is operational in the millimetre range around 119 GHz and in the submillimetre range between 480 and 580 GHz (although to date only submillimetre measurements have been analysed). Aimed at the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere, it records the emission spectra of important molecules such as ozone and its isotopes, chlorine monoxide, nitrous oxide, nitric acid, water vapour and its isotopes and carbon monoxide.
Products available on AERIS
SMR : Two types of SMR/ODIN data are available from Ether since 21 August 2001:
- Spectrum (level 1) and vertical profile (level 2) data corresponding to the official data products generated by the ODIN project team (PDC/Chalmers);
- Vertical profile data (level 2) corresponding to the unofficial data products of the Toulouse Aerology Laboratory, accessible from Ether using the MOLIERE software.
- Access to SMR data is restricted.
