The Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the Atmosphere
(GLORIA) is an imaging limb emission sounder operating in the
thermal infrared region. It is designed to provide measurements of
the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere with high spatial and high
spectral resolution. The instrument consists of an imaging Fourier
transform spectrometer integrated into a gimbal. The assembly can be
mounted in the belly pod of the German High Altitude and Long Range research aircraft (HALO) and in instrument bays of the Russian M55
Geophysica. Measurements are made in two distinct
modes: the chemistry mode emphasises chemical analysis with high
spectral resolution, and the dynamics mode focuses on dynamical
processes of the atmosphere with very high spatial resolution. In
addition, the instrument allows tomographic analyses of air
volumes. The first measurement campaigns have shown compliance with
key performance and operational requirements
