TL;DR: The Geosynchronous Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) developed for the NASA New Millennium Program (NMP) Earth Observing-3 (EO-3) mission, has recently completed a series of uplooking atmospheric measurements as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The infrared absolute radiance interferometer (ARI) as discussed by the authors was developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) to measure absolute spectrally resolved infrared radiance (200-2000 cm-1 or 5-50 μm at 0.5 cm- 1 resolution) with ultra high accuracy (< 0.1 K 3-sigma brightness temperature at scene temperature).

TL;DR: The Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) as mentioned in this paper is a satellite mission that will measure the Earth's outgoing spectral radiance with accuracy better than 0.1 K in radiance temperature for climate benchmarking and forecast testing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of an effort to validate the accuracy of cloud-cleared radiance products of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) using observations from a variety of aircraft-based sensors.
