    Notes: Abstract An aircraft version of the high-resolution interferometer sounder (HIS), a Fourier transform spectrometer designed for meteorological applications, has been used to measure the upwelling infrared emission of the earth with a resolving power on the order of 1000. HIS measurements from high-altitude NASA research aircraft have demonstrated that the high radiometric accuracies required for atmospheric temperature and humidity sounding (1°C absolute brightness temperature and 0.1° C RMS reproducibility) can be achieved. Calibration is accomplished using periodic views of two onboard high-emissivity blackbodies, servo controlled to 300 K and 240 K. For an interferometer, this approach relies on careful optical design and alignment to avoid unknown dependence of the responsivity on optical path difference. The aircraft model is a successful prototype for spacecraft versions for weather and climate monitoring.

    Notes: Abstract The SCRIBE (Stratospheric CRyogenic Interferometer Balloon Experiment) system was flown August 10, 1986, over eastern New Mexico. Because the SCRIBE sensor is a liquid nitrogen cooled interferometer, absolute radiance data were obtained with good resolution (0.1 cm−1) and high sensitivity. The normal field of view was reduced to ~0.2° (80 m on the ground) by a 12′' Dall-Kirkham telescope, and was steered by remote control using television cameras boresighted with the infrared sensor. The stabilized viewing allowed “staring” at selected features for considerable periods of time. The data sets thus include spectra of different terrain features, as well as substantially different atmospheric paths to one feature. Both the data and the SCRIBE equipment are described.
