 ===== Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) =====

 ===== Principle =====
-The AERI is an operational infrared spectrometer that measures the downwelling infrared radiance from 3.3-19 µm at 1 cm<sup>-1</sup> resolution. Like the microwave spectrum, the infrared spectrum also contains information on the vertical profile of temperature and humidity. Spectral observations from 612-713 cm<sup>-1</sup> and 2223-2260 cm<sup>-1</sup> (i.e., measurements from the 15 µm and 4.3 µm CO2 bands, respectively) are used for temperature profiling, and observations from 538-588 cm<sup>-1</sup> and 1250-1350 cm<sup>-1</sup> (i.e., measurements from the wings of the rotational and 6.3 µm water vapor bands, respectively) for water vapor profiling. Additionally, selected window channels provide information on low-LWP (< 50 gm<sup>-2</sup>) liquid water cloud effective radius and cloud optical depth as well as ice clouds and aerosol. Currently, our AERI is also used for columnar trace gas retrieval (CO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, N<sub>2</sub>O) within a HITEC PhD-Stipend.
