25 S-HIS -2 Altitudes AVE, 29 October 2004 15 micron CO 2 Potential for spectral net flux & cooling rate, but requires repeated track and very stable conditions

26 S-HIS – TES Bands near 31 Oct overpass  5.5 x 16 km

27 S-HIS – Difference from 41 km earlier

28 S-HIS – Difference from 54 km later

29 Radiance Validation of AIRS with S-HIS

30 AIRS / SHIS Comparisons A detailed comparison should account for: instrumental noise and scene variations Different observation altitudes (AIRS is 705km, SHIS is ~20km on ER2, ~14km on Proteus) Different view angles (AIRS is near nadir, SHIS is ~±35deg from nadir) Different spatial footprints (AIRS is ~15km at nadir, SHIS is ~2km at nadir) Different spectral response (AIRS  = /1200, SHIS  =~0.5 cm -1 ) and sampling SHIS and AIRS SRFs AIRS SHIS

31 MODIS 12  m Band Tbs(K) & near-nadir AIRS FOVs

32 8 AIRS FOVs used in the following comparisons 1 Degree MODIS 12 micron Band & near-nadir AIRS FOVs

33 “comparison 0” 8 AIRS FOVs, 448 SHIS FOVs, PC filtering AIRS SHIS

34 “comparison 0” 8 AIRS FOVs, 448 SHIS FOVs, PC filtering S-HIS Spectrum Nyquist sampled without gaps

35 (AIRSobs-AIRScalc)- (SHISobs-SHIScalc) (K) “Comparison 2” (21 November 2002) Excluding channels strongly affected by atmosphere above ER2

36 Calibration and Validation for IR radiance observations are now concerned with tenths of K, not degrees K ! High Spectral Resolution is an important part of the reason (Goody & Haskins, J Climate,1998)

37 ADRIEX Proteus/S-HIS Flight Track 08 Sept 04, 0106-0112 UTC AIRS 1000 cm -1 Brightness T

38 Selected Regions: Blue = Ocean, north-clear (0020-0025 UTC) Green = Mountains-clear (0055-0100 UTC) Red =Ocean, south-some cirrus (0110-0120 UTC) AIRS 1000 cm -1 Brightness T- Blowup

39 AIRS/S-HIS Comparison Preliminary: Just averaging S-HIS over AIRS FOVs Ocean, North

40 AIRS/S-HIS Comparison Preliminary: Just averaging S-HIS over AIRS FOVs Mountains

41 AIRS/S-HIS Comparison Preliminary: Just averaging S-HIS over AIRS FOVs Ocean, south-cirrus

42 Summary Very happy with S-HIS performance on the WB57 Main Aura validation objectives: 1. TES Radiance, with AIRS comparison also 2. Tropospheric Ozone Other possible constraints on O 3, CH 4, and CO from altitude-stepped sampling, looking up and down
