Down-Looking Interferometer Study II, Volume I,

Abstract

This study defines parametrically the capability of a high-flying spectrometer system to detect and characterize particular gaseous emissions by ground level stationary sources. The systems considered utilize a Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) employing mosaic focal planes together with optical designs or data processing techniques that effect 'background subtraction'. Detection and quantification are based on the correlation of the observed target spectral contrast with predicted target spectral signatures. (Author)
