| Abstract: | The operational Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) emissivity retrieval uses a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) regression emissivity product as a first guess for its retrieval over land. The NOAA approach is based on clear radiances that are simulated from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting forecast and a surface emissivity training data set. The same approach has also been applied to simulated Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) data. Resulted emissivity spectra and maps derived from AIRS and IASI will be presented and discussed. |
