Abstract
Microwave limb sounding can provide important measurements for understanding global change and processes in Earth's stratosphere, mesosphere, and lower thermosphere. An experiment for this purpose, operating at millimeter wavelengths, is now ready for launch on the NASA Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS). An enhanced experiment at submillimeter wavelengths is also in study for the future NASA Earth Observing System (EOS).
