Retrieval of Tropospheric Profiles from IR Emission Spectra: Field Experiment and Sensitivity Study

Abstract

This presentation includes technical comparisons of different atmospheric modeling instruments. For this report, results of the DBIS (Double Input Beam Interferometer Sounder) were compared to models such as FASCOD3 and MODTRAN2/L. The goal of this project was the retrieval of atmospheric temperature and water vapor profiles and possibly over relevant information on clouds and aerosol properties from high resolution IR emission measurements with a ground-based interferometer.
