TL;DR: The Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) is an imaging infrared Fourier-transform spectrometer scheduled to be launched into polar Sun-synchronous orbit aboard the Earth Observing System's Aura satellite in June 2003 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Aura, the last of the large Earth Observing System observatories, was launched on July 15, 2004 and all of the instruments are performing as expected, and HIRDLS will likely be able to deliver most of their planned data products.

TL;DR: In this article, a new class of apodizing functions suitable for Fourier spectrometry (and similar applications) is introduced, and three specific functions are discussed in detail, and the resulting instrumental line shapes are compared to numerous others proposed for the same purpose.

TL;DR: The methodology is based on the maximum a posteriori estimate, which mathematically requires the minimization of the difference between observed spectral radiances and a nonlinear model of radiative transfer of the atmospheric state subject to the constraint that the estimated state must be consistent with an a priori probability distribution for that state.

TL;DR: The Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer is a high-resolution infrared imaging Fourier transform spectrometer specifically aimed at determining the chemical state of the Earth's lower atmosphere (the troposphere).
