Results for Operational Correction of Tilt Induced Sample Position Error for the Scanning High-resolution Interferometer Sounder (S-HIS)

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of S-HIS noise performance on various airborne platforms is presented, with specific emphasis on the operational correction of tilt induced sample position error, and a comparison is made of SIS noise on different airborne platforms.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A New Class of Advanced Accuracy Satellite Instrumentation for Earth Observation

TL;DR: In this article, a prototype was developed for a new class of advanced accuracy FTS satellite instrumentation to make high-accuracy measurements of the earth's outgoing thermal radiance, for benchmarking climate change and testing climate models.

University of Wisconsin-Madison Participation in the International Water-Vapor Project (IHOP)

TL;DR: In this article, the upwelling thermal infrared emission from the surface and atmosphere over the U. S. Southern Great Plains was obtained from the NASA DC-8 with the Scanning High-resolution Interferometer Sounder (S-HIS) instrument, analysis of the SIS radiances were used to obtain atmospheric temperature profiles below the aircraft.

S-HIS Dual Regression Retrieval Analysis Relating to the HS3 Field Campaign

TL;DR: Atmospheric state retrievals from S-HIS measurements from NASA's Global Hawk during the HS3 aircraft field campaign during the 2012 through 2014 hurricane seasons were compared to colocated AVAPS dropsonde and CPL lidar measurements as mentioned in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

The Geosynchronous Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS): Engineering Development Unit (EDU) Noise Performance

TL;DR: The GIFTS EDU noise performance measured during thermal vacuum testing indicates that the required noise performance has been realized, and that goal performance was achieved over much of both the Infrared detector bands as mentioned in this paper.
