A Climate Hyperspectral Infrared Radiance Product (CHIRP) Combining the AIRS and CrIS Satellite Sounding Record

Application of GPS radio occultation to the assessment of temperature profile retrievals from microwave and infrared sounders

Comparisons of satellite temperature profile products from GPS radio occultation (RO) and hyperspectral infrared (IR)/microwave (MW) sounders are made using a previously developed matchup technique. The profile matchup technique matches GPS RO and IR/MW sounder profiles temporally, within 1 h, and spatially, taking into account the unique RO profile geometry and theoretical spatial resolution b...

SI traceable algorithm for characterizing hyperspectral infrared sounder CrIS noise.

The Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership Satellite (S-NPP) is a Fourier transform spectrometer and provides the sensor data record (SDR) that can be used to retrieve atmospheric temperature and water vapor profiles and can also be directly assimilated in numerical weather prediction models. The noise equivalent differential radiance (NEdN) is part...

Infrared sounding of the trade‐wind boundary layer: AIRS and the RICO experiment

[1] The new generation of remote sensors on board NASA’s A‐Train constellation offers the possibility of observing the atmospheric boundary layer in different regimes, with or without clouds. In this study we use data from the Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) and of the Rain In Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) campaign, to verify the accuracy and precision of the AIRS Version 5 Level 2 support ...

Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) satellite observations of tropospheric ammonia

Observations of atmospheric ammonia are important in understanding and modelling the impact of ammonia on both human health and the natural environment. We present a detailed description of a robust retrieval algorithm that demonstrates the capabilities of utilizing Crosstrack Infrared Sounder (CrIS) satellite observations to globally retrieval ammonia concentrations. Initial ammonia retrieval ...
