Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the trace gas profiling capabilities of future passive high spectral resolution (1 cm-1 or better) infrared (600 to 2700 cm-1) satellite tropospheric sounders. These sounders, such as the grating spectrometer, Atmospheric InfRared Sounders (AIRS) (Chahine et al., 1990) and the interferometer, GOES High resolution Interferometer Sounder (GHIS), (Smith et al., 1991) can provide these unique infrared spectra which enable us to conduct this analysis.
