摘要 英国气象局（UKMO）开发了一种机载干涉仪，作为未来星基红外气象探测仪的模拟器。机载研究干涉仪评估系统 (ARIES) 由安装在 UKMO C-130 飞机上的改良商用干涉仪组成。该仪器对3.3-18μm波长范围敏感，最大光程差为±1.037cm。本文介绍了 ARIES 的设计和性能，讨论了仪器校准，并提出了一些初步结果。与使用新一代高光谱分辨率红外气象探测仪相关的一个重要问题是需要改进大气光谱和辐射传输的知识。这些改进对于从这些新型高光谱分辨率探测器中提取温度和湿度检索中所承诺的垂直和绝对分辨率是必要的。凭借广泛的指导...
Abstract The United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO) has developed an airborne interferometer to act as a simulator for future satellite-based infrared meteorological sounders. The Airborne Research Interferometer Evaluation System (ARIES) consists of a modified commercial interferometer mounted on the UKMO C-130 aircraft. The instrument is sensitive to the wavelength range 3.3–18 μm and has a maximum optical path difference of ±1.037 cm. This paper describes the design and performance of ARIES, discusses instrument calibration, and presents some preliminary results. An important problem associated with the use of the new generation of high-spectral resolution infrared meteorological sounders is that improvements need to be made to knowledge of atmospheric spectroscopy and radiative transfer. These improvements are necessary to extract the promised vertical and absolute resolution in temperature and humidity retrievals from these new high-spectral resolution sounders. By virtue of the extensive instru...
