Description:

Uses supervised statistical classification to retrieve isolines of a trace atmospheric substance or other atmospheric variable from a cross-track scanning or similar nadir-looking satellite. Contains software for generating training data from radiative transfer simulations and using collocation. Final fields can be interpolated using a variation of multi-linear interpolation or using kernel estimation. Currently supported satellites are the Advance Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) series and the Global Ozone Measurement Experiment (GOME) but an ambitious researcher could easily modify the codes for another, similar satellite.

Software is very much in the "alpha" stage, but an ambitious researcher could easily adapt the code to retrieve isolines from a variety of satellites.
