Inspecting our upper atmosphere

Abstract

The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) has been proposed for intensive studies of the 15-100 km-altitude region of the earth's atmosphere, begining in 1991. This 14,000-lb satellite will carry a suite of 10 instruments able to study the energy input and loss, photochemistry, and circulation of the upper atmosphere, as well as the extensive web of interactions among these three processes. UARS's remote sensors will give attention to the atmospheric molecular species of the nitrogen, hydrogen, and chlorine families.
