Advanced Moisture and Temperature Sounder (AMTS) baseline 5 study reportAn Advanced Moisture and Temperature Sounder (AMTS) passive infrared atmospheric sounding system is described. Instrument requirements are developed. Parametric and scaling equations for a grating spectrometer instrument approach are developed which define detector noise limited performance in terms of instrument, orbit, and spatial coverage parameters. Instrument design criteria are developed and a baseline instrument design is presented. Error sources are identified and corresponding system error component values are estimated. Within narrow limits, the highest level of performance achievable with a stand alone infrared sounder using current state of the art technology is established. Additional trade offs necessary to establish a reasonably optimal system design in terms of performance, cost, and risk are identified.
