Clear Sky IR Emissivity from AIRS Summary
• Demonstrated ability to determine RELATIVE emissivity to within about 2% using ECMWF atmospheric state as input to a line-by-line RTE correction.• Demonstrated ability to determine ABSOLUTE emissivity to about 1% using AIRS observations + ECMWF atmospheric temperature and water vapor profiles using Online/Offline technique. (Assuming an accurate RTE model for reflection.)• Demonstrated that a 10% error in total water vapor leads to a 1% error in absolute emissivity with the On/Offline method.• Demonstrated a FORTRAN implementation that gives consistent results using only the 281 channel subset. (!!!)• Delivered FORTRAN code to JPL and JCDA for evaluation and possible routine implementation.

AIRS Validation Against MODIS Products (or vice versa)
Method:1. Degrade MOD11 product from 5 km (0.05 deg) to 100
km (1 degree) bins by taking the median value.2. Difference AIRS L3 and degraded MOD11 products.3. Display difference maps and histograms for
a) Land Surface Temperatureb) IR Emissivity (12, 8.5, and 3.9 m)
4. Display Time Series of Monthly Tskin Differences on regional scales.
This comparison method is suggested for future evaluation of AIRS land surface temperature products since it can be used to identify potential problem areas in either the AIRS or MODIS products.

AIRS / MODIS Land Product Summary
• The AIRS “test” L3 products using software release version 3.X level 2 products was obtained from JPL.• The Aqua MODIS MOD11 (collection 4) product was obtained from the Goddard DAAC for this analysis.• Demonstrated the utility of comparing AIRS L3 products to spatially degraded MODIS L3 products for land surface temperature and IR emissivity validation.• Complete set of graphics for all geographic regions and all spectral regions is available for the year 2003 athttp://gi.ssec.wisc.edu/~airs/knuteson• A corresponding set of graphics will be added as Goddard begins producing AIRS L3 products based on the data reprocessing using PGE version 4 software.
