MORSE
Multispectral Orbital Retrieval using Sequential Estimation

These web-pages describe MORSE v4.
(MORSE v3 documentation can be found [here])
Introduction
MORSE v4 is a Fortran90 program developed under NCEO
to perform
retrievals of atmospheric profiles from satellite infrared spectra
(primarily MIPAS and IASI).
The main changes with respect to MORSE v3 are
- Complete recoding from F77 to F90
- Extension to allow nadir-viewing retrievals (ie IASI)
- Retrievals for complete orbits rather than single profiles
It requires an orbit of satellite data (MIPAS L1B or IASI L1C format)
to be converted via an IDL L1C pre-processor
into a suitable input format, and can then either be run with standard
HITRAN spectroscopic input or pre-defined Look-Up Tables. The former is
suitable for small-scale, investigative work while the latter is for
more systematic large-scale processing.
