AbstractRecently we were able to retrieve the Earth's transmission spectrum through lunar eclipse observations. This spectrum showed that the depth of most molecular species was stronger than models had anticipated. The presence of other atmospheric signatures, such as atmospheric dimers, were also present in the spectrum. We have been developing a radiative transfer code able to reproduce the Earth's transmission spectra at different depths into the penumbra and umbra, and taking into account transmission, refraction, and multiple scattering. Here we discuss the results to date and the work ahead.
