Journal ArticleDOI
Radiometric calibration of IR Fourier transform spectrometers: solution to a problem with the High-Resolution Interferometer Sounder.
Henry E. Revercomb,H. Buijs,H. B. Howell,Daniel D. LaPorte,William L. Smith,Lawrence A. Sromovsky +5 more
TL;DR: A calibrated Fourier transform spectrometer, known as the High-Resolution Interferometer Sounder (HIS), has been flown on the NASA U-2 research aircraft to measure the infrared emission spectrum of the earth to meet high radiometric precision and accuracy requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mars: Water vapor observations from the Viking orbiters
TL;DR: In this article, the global distribution of the water vapor has been mapped at low resolution throughout the period from the northern summer solstice to the following equinox, and various data obtained indicate that the residual polar caps are composed of water ice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiometric and spectral validation of Atmospheric Infrared Sounder observations with the aircraft-based Scanning High-Resolution Interferometer Sounder

Benjamin Howell,Daniel D. LaPorte,Stephen A. Mango,Thomas S. Pagano,Joe K. Taylor,Paul van Delst,Kenneth H. Vinson,Mark W. Werner +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between a high-altitude aircraft spectrometer and an AIRS was performed on the NASA Aqua spacecraft by the Scanning-HIS on a NASA ER-2 high altitude aircraft, and the difference in brightness temperature was found to be 0.2 K or less for most channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
GHIS—The GOES High-Resolution Interferometer Sounder
William L. Smith,Henry E. Revercomb,H. B. Howell,Hung-Lung Huang,Robert O. Knuteson,E. W. Koenig,Daniel D. LaPorte,S. H. Silverman,L. A. Sromovsky,Harold M. Woolf +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a high spectral resolution interferometer sounder (GHIS) was designed for flight on future geostationary meteorological satellites and demonstrated the capability to observe the earth-emitted radiance spectrum with high accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavior of volatiles in Mars' polar areas: A model incorporating new experimental data
TL;DR: A model has been developed to explain the north polar water vapor results obtained by the Viking orbiter Mars atmospheric water detector; it has also been used to compute the thickness of seasonally deposited CO2 frost, the variation of the total atmospheric pressure, and wind velocities due to mass motions associated with CO2 condensation as mentioned in this paper.
