Abstract The SCRIBE (Stratospheric CRyogenic Interferometer Balloon Experiment) system was flown August 10, 1986, over eastern New Mexico. Because the SCRIBE sensor is a liquid nitrogen cooled interferometer, absolute radiance data were obtained with good resolution (0.1 cm−1) and high sensitivity. The normal field of view was reduced to ~0.2° (80 m on the ground) by a 12′' Dall-Kirkham telescope, and was steered by remote control using television cameras boresighted with the infrared sensor. The stabilized viewing allowed “staring” at selected features for considerable periods of time. The data sets thus include spectra of different terrain features, as well as substantially different atmospheric paths to one feature. Both the data and the SCRIBE equipment are described.
