One of major challenges facing Earth's science in the next decade
and beyondis the development of an accurate long term observational
data set to study global change. To accomplish this, a wide range
of observations will be required to provide both new measurements,
not previously achievable and measurements with a greater degreee
of accuracy and resolution than the ones which are presently and
currently available. Among the parameters that are currently
retrieved from satellite vertical sounding observations,
temperature and moisture profiles are the most important for the
description of the thermodynamic state of the medium. Other
parameters, like those describing the cloud fields, the surface
state or the conditions close to the surface are also key
parameters for meteorology and climatology. A new generation of
high spectral atmospheric sounders in the infrared has recently
been designed to provide both new and more accurate data about the
atmosphere, land and oceans for application to climate studies.
Among the important observations that these instruments should
contribute to the climate data set are day and night global
measurements of: atmospheric temperature profiles; relative
humidity profiles; cloud field parameters; total ozone burden of
the atmosphere; distribution of minor atmospehric gases (methane,
carbonmonoxide and nitrous oxide).
