Abstract
Radiometrically accurate observations of the earth's emission spectrum from 3.8 to 16.6 microns have been made using the High-resolution Interferometer Sounder (HIS) to look downward from the NASA U2/ER2 aircraft or upward from the ground. These observations have been used to demonstrate the substantially improved vertical resolution of temperature and water vapor soundings derived from high resolution spectra (resolving power from 1800 to 3800), as compared to soundings from the low resolution filter radiometer observations used in current satellite sounders.
