Smithsonian stratospheric far-infrared spectrometer and data reduction system
The Smithsonian far-infrared spectrometer is a remote sensing Fourier transform spectrometer that measures the mid- and far-infrared thermal emission spectrum of the stratosphere from balloon and aircraft platforms. The spectrometer has had nine successful balloon flights from 1987 to 1994, flying a...
