Atmospheric radiation and retrieval from ground infrared hyperspectral measurements — Well-calibrated atmospheric radiance measurements contain rich information of atmospheric states for remote sensing applications and can be used as a reference dataset for comparing newly developed satellite instruments. This project aims to deploy a ground-based high-resolution infrared spectrometer, Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI), to the PONEX campaign and to use its measurements with high accuracy to validate the measurements of other radiometers and compare their atmospheric sounding abilities.
