 | Hydroxyl radical (OH) response to the 11-year solar cycle OH data from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on Aura and a ground-based FTUVS suggest a response of the OH column to the solar cycle that is significantly larger than model results using established solar forcing. |
 | TES Water Vapor Isotope Data used to Evaluate Moisture Processes in Climate Models The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on NASA's Aura shows weaker than usual ozone transport and strong photochemical loss |

Direct observations of megacity emissions and lifetimes of nitrogen oxides using OMI Emission inventories in megacities are uncertain, particularly in developing countries. Can we use OMI to better quantify these emissions without a model? |
 | Decrease in SO2 over the Eastern US OMI data confirm a substantial reduction in sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) values around the largest US coal power plants as a result of the implementation of pollution control measures. |
 | Aura MLS observations of unprecedented 2011 Arctic ozone loss Unusually prolonged cold conditions in the spring 2011 Arctic stratosphere promoted levels of chlorine activation and chemical ozone loss never before observed in the Arctic, comparable to those in the Antarctic in some winters. |

TES Water Vapor Isotope Data used to Evaluate Moisture Processes in Climate Models Differences between TES data and climate models are due to rainfall, evaporation and mixing processes.... |
 | Equatorial wave structure HIRDLS temperature measurement sampling and resolution afford unprecedented views of the latitude-height structure of equatorial waves at altitudes above the cloud tops. |
 | Gravity wave momentum fluxes in polar regions HIRDLS observations are used to quantify gravity wave momentum fluxes in the middle atmosphere. |
 | Gravity wave momentum fluxes in monsoon regions Measurements from HIRDLS are used to quantify gravity wave momentum fluxes generated from monsoon regions across the globe over the three years 2005-2007. |
 | Stratosphere-Troposphere Intrusions Deep intrusions of tropospheric air into the lower stratosphere above the subtropical jet, characterized by low ozone concentration and low static stability, are consistently observed with Aura/HIRDLS. |
 | Grímsvötn Volcano Eruption Aura's OMI ultraviolet aerosol index allows volcanic ash to be detected over clouds whereas this is more difficult with a visible image. |
 | The Global Carbon Cycle TES measurements provide constraints on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and uptake and methane (CH4) emissions. |
 | TES Water Vapor Isotopes Stable isotopes from TES is used to constrain convective parameterization in a climate model. |
 | Greenhouse effect of tropospheric ozone This map shows the longwave radiative effect of infrared radiation absorbed by tropospheric ozone as estimated from TES top-of- atmosphere observations. |
 | Ammonia from TES
TES captures the variability of ammonia over the Earth's surface. |
 | Global satellite analysis of the relation between aerosols and short-lived trace gases
Information on the global composition of aerosol particles, their emission sources and relative regional pollution controls of combustion processes. |
