TL;DR: The Michelson Interferometer for Pas- sive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) is a mid-infrared emission spectrometer which is part of the core payload of ENVISAT as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Earth Cooling by Water Vapor Radiation (ECWV radiation) project as discussed by the authors provides the very first set of far-infrared spectral downwelling radiance measurements, in dry atmospheric conditions, which are complemented with Raman Lidar-derived temperature and water vapor profiles.

TL;DR: An optimized code to perform the near-real-time retrieval of profiles of pressure, temperature, and volume mixing ratio (VMR) of five key species from infrared limb spectra recorded by the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) experiment on board the European Space Agency (ESA) Environmental Satellite ENVISAT-1 was developed.

TL;DR: A use in interferometric measurements of the stratospheric emission is shown and a comparison is discussed with the results obtained from the analysis of the same data set, by using the onion-peeling method in which the error propagation, over concentrations, is taken into account.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the level 2 near real-time (NRT) and off-line (OL) ESA processors that have been used to derive level 2 geophysical products from the calibrated and geolocated level 1b spectra.
