TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral information from the AERI is used for many diverse functions, including: identifying and eliminating absolute errors in calculated spectra for known atmospheric states; evaluating and improving cloud radiation calculations; characterizing the distribution and evolution of effective cloud radiative properties; studying the state parameter changes associated with the formation, evolution, and dissipation of clouds.

TL;DR: The Geosynchronous Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) as mentioned in this paper is a geosynchronous imaging Fourier transform spectrometer that uses a large area focal plane array (LAFP) to measure the incident infrared radiance with an unprecedented combination of spectral, temporal, and spatial resolution and coverage.

TL;DR: The infrared Absolute Radiance Interferometer (ARI) was developed for NASA's Climate Absolute Radiant and Reflectivity Observatory (CLARREO) and brought to a Technical Readiness Level of 6 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results from the Heated Halo methodology implemented with a new Absolute Radiance Interferometer (ARI), which is a prototype space-based infrared spectrometer designed for climate benchmarking.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed thermal vacuum testing of the GIFTS sensor at the Space Dynamics Laboratory and completed in September 2006, with a focus on spectral characterization of the sensor.
