SPectroscopy In The Far InfraREd: Reducing uncertainties in spectroscopic line parameters for ESA’s FORUM mission (SPITFIRE)
Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER (GB)The upcoming ESA FORUM (Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring) mission will be the first to measure the Earth’s spectrally resolved outgoing longwave radiation in the far-infrared (FIR) at high spectral resolution. This spectral region is responsible for over half of the Earth’s emissions to space, with the principal absorbers being CO2 and H2O. The …
