Infrared Satellite Detection Limits for Monitoring Atmospheric Ammonia by Mark W. Shephard, Shailesh K. Kharol, Enrico Dammers, Christopher E. Sioris, Andrew Bell, Rik Jansen, Jerome Caron, Ralph Snel, Emanuela Palombo, Karen E. Cady-Pereira, Chris A. McLinden, Erik Lutsch, Robert O. Knuteson

“…For example, a Cross-track Infrared Sounder-like instrument with a modest spectral resolution of 0.625 cm^−1 and excellent signal-to-noise ratio of ∼1600 would be able to detect ammonia on average ∼70% of the time; these same instrument specifications will have a detection limit of 0.2 ppbv (surface) or 1.6×10¹⁵ molec cm^−2 (total column) that can be achieved at a detection rate of 10% as it requires favorable infrared remote sensing conditions (large thermal contrast). …”
