FTIR/LBL Comparison

The following table contains observed (FTIR) and simulated (LBL using CMDL balloon soundings) radiance data. The full spectrum gives IR radiance results for the full spectrum observed by the FTIR (400 to 2000 cm-1). Diagrams of the H2O rotational band and vibrational band are also given. You can view the images using Table 1 or download postscript images using Table 2. The 4 digit number indicates the local time (HHMM) of the FTIR observation taken in Boulder, CO (MST). The CMDL balloon sounding data and time is given as the column title.
