Recap Assume non-scattering radiative transfer in the infrared and microwaveAssume non-scattering radiative transfer in the infrared and microwave Absorption coefficient tells us how efficiently a gas absorbs AND emits.Absorption coefficient tells us how efficiently a gas absorbs AND emits. Transmission (between two points A and B) tells us what fraction of radiation will ‘survive’ (i.e. not be absorbedTransmission (between two points A and B) tells us what fraction of radiation will ‘survive’ (i.e. not be absorbed Weighting function tells us where the radiation observed originated in the atmosphere. Allows us to relate observed radiance to layers/levels in the atmosphereWeighting function tells us where the radiation observed originated in the atmosphere. Allows us to relate observed radiance to layers/levels in the atmosphere Next: AIRS, AMSU applicationsNext: AIRS, AMSU applications

Example: Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) Provides data since mid 2002 Temperature and water vapor profiles available globally about once every 12hours Spatial resolution about 15 km horizontally Accuracy T : dz=1km Accuracy RH : dz=1km Other, similar instruments out there. Data continuity high priority for NOAA and EUMETSAT
