The outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) emitted to space is a fundamental component of the
Earth's energy budget. There are numerous, entangled physical processes that contribute to …

Abstract FORUM (Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring) will fly as
the ninth ESA's Earth Explorer mission, and an end-to-end simulator (E2ES) has been …

Abstract The Far-Infrared Radiation Mobile Observation System (FIRMOS) is a Fourier
transform spectroradiometer developed to support the Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation …

In this paper a retrieval procedure of cirrus ice properties, based on the optimal estimation
and the Levenberg–Marquardt iterative formula, is extended with a suitable non linear …

Spectral emissivity is a key property of the Earth's surface, of which only very few
measurements exist so far in the far-infrared (FIR) spectral region, even though recent work …

Two upcoming missions are scheduled to provide novel spaceborne observations of
upwelling far‐infrared spectra. In this study, the accuracy of ice cloud property retrievals …

To generate reliable climate predictions, global models need accurate estimates of all the
energy fluxes contributing to the Earth's radiation budget (ERB). Clouds in general, and …

We describe studies undertaken in support of the Far‐infrared Outgoing Radiation
Understanding and Monitoring mission, European Space Agency's ninth Earth Explorer …

Atmosphere and surface properties are routinely retrieved from satellite measurements and
extensively used in weather forecast and climate analysis. Satellite missions dedicated to fill …

Cloud phase is an important factor affecting cloud contributions to the polar energy budget.
Brightness temperature differences (BTDs) between two mid‐infrared (mid‐IR) spectral …
