Abstract :
The UKMO has developed an airborne interferometer `ARIES´ to act as simulator for future satellite-based infrared sounders. In order to characterise anomalies in ARIES observations of atmospheric scenes, methods have been developed to experimentally determine interferometer instrument line shape (ILS) rather than relying on simulation
