The thermal infrared (TIR) band of Thermal and Near-Infrared Sensor for carbon Observations Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TANSO-FTS) on the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) measures a wide range of scene temperatures using a single detector band with broad spectral coverage. This work describes the vicarious radiometric calibration over a large footprint (10.5 km) and high temperature surface using well-calibrated ground-based and airborne FTS sensors. The vicarious calibration campaign of GOSAT was conducted at Railroad Valley, NV in June 2011. During the campaign, the Scanning High-resolution Interferometer Sounder (S-HIS) mounted on the high-altitude NASA ER-2 aircraft observed upwelling radiation and the ground-based Surface-Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (S-AERI) observed infrared thermal emission from the atmosphere and the surface at the same location and time as the GOSAT TANSO-FTS. We validated TANSO-FTS TIR radiance with S-HIS radiance using double difference method, which reduces the effect of differences in the observation geometry. In this paper, we estimated the TANSO-FTS Instantaneous Field of View average temperature and emissivity by the coincident S-AERI and S-HIS observed radiance. The double difference between TANSO-FTS and S-HIS result in a difference of 0.5 K at atmospheric window channels (800 similar to 900 cm(-1)) and CO2 warm brightness temperature channels (700 similar to 750 cm(-1)), 0.1 K at ozone channels (980 similar to 1080 cm(-1)), and more than 2 K at CO2 cool brightness temperature channels (650 similar to 700 cm(-1)). The main reason of remaining errors is attributed to a calibration error in the TANSO-FTS Level 1B product version under evaluation. |
