Comparison of Recalibrated Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer Observations with Line-by-Line Radiative Transfer Model Calculations
نویسنده
چکیده
The comparison of recalibrated spectra from the atmospheric emitted radiance interferometer prototype (AERI-00) and lineby-line radiative transfer model (LBLRTM) calculations show much smaller differences in the 800-1200 cm atmospheric -1 window region under “clear conditions” compared with the preliminary calibrated data. Results indicate that the new AERI-00 data is in good agreement with similar comparisons using Spectral Radiance Experiment (SPECTRE) data. However, the recalibrated spectra have small changes in other spectral regions. Large observation-model differences still exist in the 550-630 cm region, especially for dry cases, -1 indicating a potential problem in arctic radiance and atmospheric cooling rate calculations.
