Scientific paper

Measurements of CO2 4.3-micron limb radiances obtained from the Stratospheric and Meosopheric Sounder on Nimbus 7 are analyzed with a non-LTE radiative transfer model. Diurnal, latitudinal, and seasonal variations in the data are discussed. The sensitivity of populations and limb radiances to spectral, atmospheric, and collisional interactions parameters is examined. It is found that the rate of energy exchange between N2 and CO2 is approximately twice the initial model value obtained from laboratory data. Also, it is shown that the CO2 volume mixing ratio above 80 km may be much less than the values predicted by photochemical models.
