Proceedings ArticleDOI
On-orbit Absolute Calibration of Temperature with Application to the CLARREO Mission
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the transient temperature signature obtained during the phase change of different reference materials, imbedded in the same thermally conductive medium as the temperature sensors, to assign an absolute scale to the thermistor sensors over a large temperature range.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The NASA New Millennium Program's Geosynchronous Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) instrument provides enormous advances in water vapor, wind, temperature, and trace gas profiling from geostationary orbit as mentioned in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Calibration of the Geostationary Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS)
Fred A. Best,Henry E. Revercomb,Gail E. Bingham,Robert O. Knuteson,David C. Tobin,Daniel D. LaPorte,William L. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a calibration concept has been developed for the NASA New Millennium Program's Geostationary Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) Phase A instrument design.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The UW Absolute Radiance Interferometer (OARS) as mentioned in this paper was developed at the University of Wisconsin (UW) and refined under the NASA Instrument Incubator Program (IIP).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Airborne and ground-based Fourier transform spectrometers for meteorology: HIS, AERI, and the new AERI-UAV
Henry E. Revercomb,William L. Smith,Fred A. Best,Jean Giroux,Daniel D. LaPorte,Robert O. Knuteson,Mark W. Werner,Jim R. Anderson,Nick N. Ciganovich,Richard W. Cline,Scott D. Ellington,R. G. Dedecker,T. P. Dirkx,Raymond K. Garcia,H. Benjamin Howell +14 more
TL;DR: The AERI-UAV as discussed by the authors is a UAV equipped with a high-resolution interferometer sounder for high altitude ER2, which is used in the DOE atmospheric radiation measurement program.
