Definition
- Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) is one of the four instruments on NASA's Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics Dynamics (TIMED). Scientific Objectives: -Study the mesosphere and lower thermosphere structure including its seasonal, latitudinal and temporal variations. -Investigate the energetics and distribution of radiatively active species in the non-LTE environment to understand the relative importance of radiative, chemical, and dynamical sources and sinks of energy. -Analyze the Oy and HOy chemistry and its coupling with energetics and dynamics. -Conduct studies of dynamics and transport and their role in the energy budget. -Develop a climatology of key atmospheric parameters in the TIMED core region from 60 to 130 km.
